Istanbul 22 30th Anniversary or a Zildjian Constantinople 22 Medium Low...Vote here!

[LazyDrummer]

Like to get some feedback here! I'm making the big ride purchase this week and I have it down to these 2, forking out a lot of cash so I'm choosing wisely and very carefully.......Anyone with experience on any of these...I've listened to hundreds of sound bites of each, but still undecided! I love the Istanbul but I'm concerned about the volume...The Constantinople seems a bit louder but that may have to do with how they were mic'd during the sound clips...And I do love the sound of those as well

...How well does the Istanbul 30th 22 Inch hold up volume wise vs the Zildjian K Con....(I'm not a metal or hard rock player...more into funk, blues, jazz, old R&B, swing, etc and not a heavy hitter either)...

This is my third post requesting some reviews but not much response.....I suppose I should have posted in the cymbal category the first time........Hopefully I'll have better luck here. I've got another day or two to decide, especially if I go for the Istanbul which are limited so want to order asap if that's the choice....Which one would you go for and why?

Any reviews would be greatly appreciated

Cheers!

Man it's too bad you don't live close to something like the Memphis Drum Shop. They have tons of cymbals and let you pull them down and play on them a little bit.

Yeah...I wish I could visit that place...I'm on the East Coast of Canada and we have nothing like that here....our stores mostly carry Zildjian and Sabian...
