DETAILS
Ranging from 18" to 22" and paper thin to thin, Keropes have a low profile and more integrated bell, offering both crash and ride qualities perfect for any musical setting. They are unbelievably warm and responsive, featuring a patina finish achieved through a proprietary process that accelerates aging for an authentic vintage look. The played-in feel is noticeable immediately, as if these cymbals have been on your kit for 50 years. Named in honor of Kerope Zildjian, these cymbals reflect one of the most storied periods in Zildjian history.
