What We Think

Incredible versatility, amazingly full, mellow enough to support the music. Traditionally vintage sounding, these would make sense in jazz primarily, but Keropes do not easily get pigeoned holed.  Their sound is dark and full of depth. These hats could shine in funk, pop, rock, country, latin, and church settings. Controlled with just enough wash, a magnificent pair of hats. 

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.
