The Zildjian KR20R 20 Inch Kerope Cymbal is a hand-crafted cymbal with the sound, look and feel of a vintage cymbal.


Each Zildjian 20-inch Kerope Ride Cymbal has been hand-crafted to bring you the sounds of the 50's and 60's, using a secret 14-step process that includes all of the advancements the company has made in their nearly 400-year-old history.

The first thing you'll notice about this cymbal is how versatile it is - it's got a dark ride sound with just the right amount of wash, and you can hear how easily the high shimmer speaks through. This makes crashes equally beautiful and full, so you don't have to move anywhere if you want to add a little more oomph to a hit.

A proprietary patina process gives these cymbals the sound, look, and feel of instruments that have been around for decades, with a complex and dark sound.

Drummers in the audience will love and hate you for owning this pristine cymbal, which works particularly well in the jazz/funk/blues genres. To further add to the quality, Zildjian has hand-written the gram weight of each cymbal under the bell.
