What We Think

Possibly the ideal jazz cymbal. This ride has magic to it that builds ambiance through wash and clarity that work hand in hand to bring you a wealth of sonic possibilities at any volume. With this ride, you will fit in perfectly to the mix but stand out because you are playing the best sounding cymbal at the gig. 

Manufacturer's Description from Zildjian

These hand crafted cymbals look as they sound – rich, dark, and complex. Reminiscent of cymbals from the 50s and 60s yet distinctly modern and relevant for today’s music, Kerope cymbals further solidify Zildjian’s place as the originator of the authentic K sound. Highly crafted cymbals that draw their inspiration from the very best cymbals in the Zildjian vault. We carefully studied every nuance of decades-old cymbals -- their bells, profiles, hammering, lathing, tapers, and weights to achieve an old world look and sound being sought after by so many artists today.
