    Authentic Vintage Tone and Rich Warmth

    Experience the legendary sound of Zildjian with the Zildjian 20-inch Kerope Medium-Thin Low Ride Cymbal. Crafted by the same skilled hands that shaped the original, this ride cymbal is a tribute to the iconic Kerope series—bringing back the unmatched warmth and richness that drummers have cherished for decades.

    This medium-thin ride cymbal combines modern craftsmanship with a vintage touch, delivering exceptional texture and depth with every strike. Hand-hammered to perfection and meticulously shaped with a classic deep pin lathe pattern, it offers outstanding stick definition and a warm, complex crash. Whether playing softly or digging in for powerful accents, the Kerope Medium-Thin Low Ride blends stick attack with a beautiful cymbal wash, creating a harmonious soundscape for any performance.

    Designed to meet the highest standards of quality, this cymbal undergoes an intensive hammering process and twice the usual sound testing to ensure that every piece resonates with the authentic Kerope character. Complete with Craigie Zildjian’s signature in the bell, this cymbal pays homage to the classic Turkish K’s while staying true to the traditional techniques of the mid-20th century.
