Why Drummers Love the Kerope Series

The Kerope line from Zildjian revives the revered mid-century K sound that shaped decades of music. Developed by Zildjian’s master cymbalsmiths, Kerope cymbals are deeply hand-hammered, traditionally lathed, and uniquely waxed for a dark, buttery response that’s perfect in the studio or on stage.

Key Features of the Zildjian 22" Kerope Medium Thin High Ride:

• Medium-thin weight provides a perfect balance of projection, warmth, and crashability
• Higher pitch delivers shimmering overtones that cut through a mix
• Hand-hammered from premium B20 bronze for complex tone and long sustain
• Excellent stick articulation with lush, musical wash
• Traditional deep pin lathing enhances brush work and sustain
• Etched Zildjian logo and Craigie Zildjian’s signature in the bell—exclusive to Kerope

Craftsmanship That Honors the Zildjian Legacy

Each Kerope cymbal undergoes four times the hammering of a K Constantinople, followed by deep lathe cuts and dual sound checks to ensure tonal precision. The result? A cymbal that feels alive under your sticks—and responds with character, depth, and musicality every time you play.
