ZILDJIAN 22" Kerope Medium Low Ride | Cymbal 22" Kerope Medium Low Ride Cymbal

Named after 19th-century master Kerope Zildjian, this series recreates the revered, vintage K sound of the 1950s and '60s.

Every Kerope is extensively hand-hammered for a dark, smoky, complex voice with that slightly dry, aged character collectors chase in old Ks. The 22" Medium Low Ride offers a low-pitched, breathing wash with soft, blending stick definition — a dream ride for jazz, soul and any music that values warmth over cut.

About Zildjian

Zildjian's story stretches from the court of the Ottoman Empire to the modern touring stage: founded in Constantinople in 1623, the family firm has been making cymbals for 400 years and counting. Generations of drummers — from big-band legends to metal and hip-hop players — have built their sound on Zildjian bronze, and every cymbal is still crafted in Norwell, Massachusetts.
