The Zildjian 22" Kerope Medium Low Ride Cymbal is a lower-profile ride with more body, possessing a strong, deep ride sound and very responsive stick.

This modern line of Kerope pays homage to its Turkish roots, capturing the essence of the iconic "K" sound from decades past. With its rich and warm tones, the Kerope cymbal adds a unique texture and complexity to any musical composition, appealing to even the most refined auditory tastes.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the entire bow of the cymbal is shaped through extensive hammering, reminiscent of traditional techniques employed until the mid-20th century. This process, combined with a distinctive lathing pattern featuring a deep pin lathe, a specialized waxing technique, and rigorous sound testing, ensures the Kerope cymbal's iconic qualities shine through.

When in the hands of a drummer, the Kerope ride cymbal inspires immediate creativity. Its warm and intricate crash, balanced with a clear stick attack, creates a harmonious blend with the rest of the band. True to its heritage, each Kerope cymbal proudly bears the signature of Craigie Zildjian in the bell, a tradition carried over from the original design.
