Product information

General

The Zildjian Kerope 20-inch ride cymbal was designed in collaboration with drummer Zach Danzinger with the aim of giving it a 1950's / '60s retro feel. Of course, cymbals from that time had a very specific sound a feel, and the Zildjian managed to bring that back to modern times with these vintage cymbals. This 20-inch ride combines the characteristics of a ride and crash, to give it a subtle dark crash sound when you hit it on the rim. The ride, conversely, is warm and full, to give you a multifunctional cymbal that's at home in any setup.

 

Zildjian 20-inch Kerope: hand-hammered

 

Zildjian put a lot of thought into the sound of this cymbal, and decided that all of the cymbals in the Kerope series should be hammered by hand. A special handling process is also applied to give the instruments a classic playing feel, and the bells are formed individually to fit with the size of the cymbal. When it comes down to it, this is an amazingly authentic cymbal with a warm sound that's ideal for recording sessions.

Zildjian KR20R 20-inch Kerope ride

Na jaren zoeken en uitproberen is dit het eerste bekken dat mij diep raakte. Het klinkt fantastisch, tenminste, als je niet van schel en scherp houdt maar van vintage. Het is een extreem donker en karaktervol bekken qua sound, en ik zou het zeker niet allround noemen zoals Bax doet. Het is ideaal voor jazz van de oude stempel - het doet je denken aan de nauwelijks hoorbare bekkens op oude platen die zijn opgenomen met een ribbon mic en tape - maar wanneer je tegen het geweld van gitaar amps op moet zal dit bekken geen indruk maken.
