Zildjian KER0220 20" Kerope Medium Thin Low Ride
A Lower-Profile, Vintage-Voiced Ride with Deep Musical Warmth
The Zildjian KER0220 20" Kerope Medium Thin Low Ride channels the unmistakable old-world Turkish K character that has captivated drummers for generations. Forged using revived mid-20th-century hammering methods, this model offers warm, complex tonality steeped in rich texture and organic musicality. Its lower-profile curvature provides greater stick definition and depth, sitting comfortably under the hands with responsive control and a beautifully vintage-inspired voice.
Crashable Feel with Dark, Expressive Nuance
Designed to function both as a warm, articulate ride and a crashable expressive cymbal, the Medium Thin Low Ride blends clarity with a textured wash. A deep pin-lathed surface enhances brush articulation, while a specialist waxing process focuses the tone for greater nuance. Its warm crash response and clean stick attack make it ideal for drummers seeking a dark, characterful ride with expressive flexibility. Each cymbal bears Craigie Zildjian’s signature inside the bell – a hallmark unique to the Kerope line.
