New! B25 Alloy is notoriously difficult to work with but Constantine Cymbals has it! The higher tin content creates a darker cymbal than B20 bronze when the other characteristics are held the same. Currently available in rides and hi-hats in 7 styles.

Big Master Series.png

Raw bell, traditional lathing, and a brilliant finish make this a very versatile cymbal. A modern smooth sound that retains the old school warmth. In heavier weights, these are ideal in amplified situations. For added uniqueness, try opening up the cymbal as an FX or Senfonic model! Also see the Star series.

Blaze Series

Wide lathing patterns create very narrow stripes. Similar to Experience Jazz series but without the very small hammer marks that add additional texture. The added sound texture does not interfere with the overall effect, making these cymbals very versatile. For added uniqueness, try opening up the cymbal as an FX or Senfonic model!

Black Pearl Series.png

The unique firing process leaves a dark brown crust, which is heavily hammered by hand with a small round hammer surface. The bell and outer edge are polished opening up the cymbal a bit while retaining a dark and dry texture. Arguably the Constantine Cymbals' Flagship model. You must hear these! For added uniqueness, try opening up the cymbal as an FX or Senfonic model!

Classic Series

For those wanting a more universal and traditional cymbal sound, but with all of the flavor of the traditional Turkish B20 bronze. Shown in Senfonic Crash Series. (See below)

Desert Pearl Series.jpg

The Desert Pearl is a variant of the Marrakes line with a fine lathed bell and outer edge to open it up just a bit.

Elegance Series

Features an unlathed bell and outer edge, with a traditionally lathed bow. The unlathed outer bow controls the cymbal a bit while retaining a warm luscious wash. The unlathed bells sing under stick, making the ride cymbals in particular, very versatile. For added uniqueness, try opening up the cymbal as an FX or Senfonic model!

Experience Jazz Series

Similar to Blaze but with smaller bell and visible small hammer marks to deepen the texture. Designed to sing for its namesake, the model is popular among worship drummers wanting deep textured tone to blend in the sound mix. For added uniqueness, try opening up the cymbal as an FX or Senfonic model!

FX Series

Several large holes near the outer edge creates airiness and a hint of trash. A very popular effects cymbal! Can be made in ANY series. Shown in Star series.

Galaxy Series

Dozens of deep hammer marks and a unique surface treatment make this cymbal stand out! For added uniqueness, try opening up the cymbal as an FX or Senfonic model!

Karadag Series.jpg

Karadag series is a hybrid of the popular Kazza and Black Pearl lines resulting in the deep texture and dual playing surface of the Black Pearl with the modern warmth and versatility of the Kazza Series.

Karaman Series.jpg

The Karaman Series was developed by your host using his favorite parts of several Constantine series, plus a few other ideas thrown in. The series has a thick bell by default, dual playing surfaces, and the heavy hammering adds a hint of trash to the wash. This is bound to be a popular series!

Constantine Cymbals are handmade using the authentic Turkish B20 bronze formula and techniques. The metal is carefully prepared, rolled, and lathed to make the perfect cymbal. Choose from one or more of traditional lathing, fine lathing, wide lathing, or unlathed (raw) techniques, with uniform hammered surfaces to heavily hammered and pocketed surfaces. We even have sand blasted surfaces. The combination of techniques create everything from traditional cymbal sounds to varying degrees of dark or bright, dry or washy, smooth or textured sounds. Additional techniques such as hole drilling further add to the palette of possibilities to all models. Most designs are extremely versatile as both rides and crashes. Varying sizes and weights to these techniques add yet another layer of sonic possibilities. We stock a nice selection of sounds to fit virtually any musical need. However, we can also order anything we don't have in stock, or even help you create virtually anything you can think up! Reach out to Todd for more information at todd@constantinecymbals-usa.com
