Representing a reimagining of Zildjian’s original Turkish K sound of decades passed, the Kerope series of cymbals brings old-world craftsmanship and deluxe tonality into the spotlight. The Kerope features extensive hammering, deep pin lathing, and a unique waxing process to achieve its coveted sound, exuding a warm, rich, and musically complex sonic texture that effortlessly emphasizes stick patterns and brush strokes alike. Timekeepers here at Sweetwater have found that its forward yet tamed attack blends seamlessly into live mixes, while simultaneously shining beautifully under studio mics. Each Kerope cymbal is thoroughly tested and precisely etched with the Kerope 'K'; meanwhile, in the spirit of the original models, the cymbals also feature the signature of Craigie Zildjian inside the bell — a distinction that no other piece of Zildjian bronze can claim! This particular Kerope Medium Thin High ride cymbal offers a higher profile, boasting a curvature that favors higher frequencies when patterned upon and shorter explosiveness when crashed. The Kerope series represents a pinnacle of Zildjian's cymbal offerings, making it an exceptional choice for drummers who value versatility and unparalleled craftsmanship.
