Frequently Asked Questions
K Customs are brighter and more focused, while the Constantinople series offers a more complex, vintage, and nuanced sound with more 'wash'.
Like all high-end cymbals, they require careful handling and occasional cleaning with a specialized cymbal cleaner to preserve their finish and tone.
They're designed for a responsive feel, but the heavier weight and complex hammering can create a slightly more deliberate response than lighter, thinner hi-hats.
