Fashioned with a wide-lathed mid-sized bell for marked yet musical projection, medium-thin construction through the bow for a dark wash to accompany the sedate articulation, and hand-hammering conducted by the company's master craftsmen in the Turkish tradition, the Zildjian 22" K Kerope Crash Ride is an immense achievement in cymbal making. Fashioned after the Ks which resurged in the '50s and '60s, this particular iteration's applications range from a low-volume jazz gig for smoky wash and presence to louder psych or garage shows.
