Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The series is epitomised by the 20" ride which has all the character we're looking for. The flavour is dark, the stick definition is clean and clickily precise for those jazz 'ten-to-tens', but effortlessly prompting a full deep wash and spread - that oh-so-slightly trashy, breathy 'ttarrhhh' which is the hallmark of a lightweight, heavily hammered ride.

We tried the 20" depping on an Irish gig - tunes ranging from traditional to country-rocking - and it snuck in beautifully. Deep enough to sit under the music, blending in rather than raging over the top. Perfect for small group jazz."

Review: "Modelled directly off the hugely popular (and still fresh) Kerope line, Zildjian are supplying the 20” and 22” cymbals as ‘medium’ weights. Featuring the same raw look, the new Keropes have the same flatter type bells which, whilst not really pronounced or particularly loud, have an integrated sound that works when struck accurately. The new cymbals are louder and very balanced with an extremely musical wash, great stick definition and a simply gorgeous crash sound. These are killer cymbals for players wanting versatility in a cymbal."
