Zildjian 22" K Kerope Medium Low Ride Cymbal

The reimagined Kerope harkens back to its namesake intermediate stamp Turkish K’s, its tones steeped in a sound born over a half century ago. Kerope cymbals breathe into music a texture and complexity that no other cymbal can, carrying a richness and warmth that will strike a chord within even the most discerning of sonic connoisseurs, who for decades have sought after the old “K” sound.

The degree of meticulous manufacturing and detailed craftsmanship dedicated to this series is unsurpassed. The entire bow is hammered into shape, reminiscent of old-world techniques used to make these K’s through the mid-20th century. The intricate lathing pattern boldens stick sound and favors brush work, while a unique waxing process focuses the sound. Together, these techniques achieve the iconic qualities of Kerope that ring true to its storied past.

Kerope ride cymbals put an unrivaled touch in drummers’ hands that instantly inspires play, with a beautiful warm, complex crash that delights performer and audience alike. The stick attack speaks with clarity without being overwhelmed by the wash, coalescing in a perfect blend with the band. All Keropes feature the signature in the bell, as was tradition in the original cymbal, of the one and only Craigie Zildjian – the only cymbal in our catalog that bears her name.
