The Kerope line draws from Zildjian's rich history and cymbal-making expertise to bring forth the most authentic vintage K recreation to date. These handcrafted cymbals look as they sound - dark and complex. Named in honor of Kerope Zildjian, who presided over one of the most storied periods in Zildjian history, each cymbal is meticulously handcrafted and represents the best of everything that we've learned in nearly 400 years of cymbal-making.
