Zildjian KRM22R 22" Kerope Medium

These hand crafted cymbals look just as they sound - Dark and complex. Keropes are visually and sonically reminiscent of cymbals from the '50s and '60s, yet distinctly modern and relevant for today's music. The 22" Kerope Medium is a slight increase in weight, allowing for more stick definition without sacrificing the integrated bell and rich, dark crash sound. The 22" Medium carries slightly more volume than the standard models, and is perfect for any musical setting. Keropes feature a patina finish achieved through a proprietary process that accelerates aging for an authentic vintage look. Their played-in feel is noticeable the moment your stick hits the cymbal, making you think these cymbals have been on your kit for 50 years. Kerope is named in honor of Kerope Zildjian, who presided over one of the most storied periods in Zildjian history.
