Tech Tip Tuesday: @ZildjianCompany 23” K Custom Special Dry Ride VS. Zildjian 22” K Constantinople Renaissance Ride
.

As you all know, I love comparing gear to hear if there is a difference between the two.
Naturally, when I got this new 22” K Constantinople Renaissance Ride, I had to compare it to my 23” K Custom Special Dry Ride.
These are the findings that came from that comparison.
For starters, the first ride cymbal is the Zildjian 23” K Custom Special Dry Ride (3054g). The second ride cymbal is the Zildjian 22” K Constantinople Renaissance Ride (2614g).
These two ride cymbals are not just different in size and look but also in sound.
The 23” K Custom has a clean yet darker fundamental tone, allowing for a pleasant wash when you lay into it. Yet, this aspect doesn’t restrict it from being able to sit well in a mix.
Meanwhile, the 22” K Con, in this case, is brighter than the 23” K Custom. This ride produces an articulate and balanced wash with no problem cutting through the mix. This ride also opens up very quickly!!
In this case, I can’t seem to pick just one ride and say that one is the best. I use these two ride cymbals for very different reasons. The 23” K Custom I use as my main ride/crash, while I use the 22” K Con as a crash with some tape on it to control the overtones a little.
If I had to pick, it would have to be the Zildjian 23” K Custom Special Dry Ride because of how much of a staple it has become for my setup.
Let’s hear from you guys! What do you guys think? Which ride cymbal do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!
Enjoy the demo! Okay. Byeeeee.🥁🤓❤️💪🏻
