20" Zildjian Kerope Ride Cymbal – 1976 grams
Beautiful cymbal in excellent condition no issues.
This 20" Kerope is a crashable ride inspired by the legendary vintage K Zildjian cymbals of the 1950s and ’60s, offering that sought-after dark, rich, and complex character without the vintage price premium.
With its medium-light weight (1976g), it provides a superb balance between clear stick definition and a soft, buttery feel. Under the stick, it remains articulate and controlled, while opening up effortlessly into a warm, expressive crash when played with more energy.
Tonally, expect a deep, smoky voice with subtle complexity, a controlled wash, and a very musical response to dynamics. This cymbal reacts beautifully to touch, making it ideal for players who value expression and nuance.
Inspired by Zildjian’s historic vault pieces, the Kerope series captures the essence of old-world craftsmanship—featuring traditional hammering, lathing, and profiles designed to recreate the authentic vintage K sound in a modern, reliable instrument.
Perfect for jazz, blues, soul, and low-to-medium volume settings, yet versatile enough for a wide range of musical styles.
A fantastic choice for drummers seeking a vintage-inspired ride with warmth, character, and responsiveness.
📦 Professionally packed and shipped worldwide from Portugal.
