Just picked up a 16" Constantinople Crash. I hit it and it screamed 'take me home'. I couldn't argue, it needed to be with it's family. Gene

How many constantinople cymbals do you have now? Matt the happy cow. If this band was a person, it would be president. If this band was visual art, it would be the main attraction at Louvre. If this band was a book, it would be holier than the bible. -METALLICA

Nice score, Gene. That sounds like a setup that could cover just about anything. "I played with Holdsworth, Fripp, and Belew...I wish we drummers could play that differently.

James,

They are absolutely gorgeous cymbals, and you can go surfing on their rich wash.

Haven't tried them in any rock or funk situations, but for jazz gigs they are amazing. I was playing a slow blues in 4 the other night (1/4=@50). The blend was beautiful with rim clicks on 4 and a feathered bass drum. I think the sizzle is built into these rides. A sound like that is the greatest cure for overplaying.

I'm extremely happy with the K Customs for more amplified situations, but I'll have to give the Constantinoples a shot in that context before commenting.

You keep piquing my interest with your descriptions of your Connies, Gene. Makes it that much tougher to stick to my "No More Cymbals" New Year's Resolution for 2010. Err...
