Review: "Now we're really talking! The 20" size seems to crystallize the essential K attributes, while the reduced weight brought the frequency down. I could ride this baby, shank it, crash it, and do just about anything I wanted with it."

Review written by T. Bruce Wittet ("Product Close-Up - New Zildjian K Constantinople Rides - Hitting The Old "K" Bull's-Eye", Modern Drummer, April 2004, p.31)

Review: "The three 20" models are known respectively as Thin High, Thin Low and Medium Thin Low (the first part of each name refers to the cymbal thickness, the second the tuning). All three cymbals are supremely responsive and the more you play into them, the more involved they become (as opposed to simply louder).

The Thin High model gives a sweet, silvery ping over a light frothy wash. As its name suggests, the cymbal has a high tuning - while its pitch is indeed high, the overall tone of the ride is rounded and warm. The prominent nature of the bell means that moving up to it brings a distinct focus to patterns."
