Zildjian Kerope Medium Thin High Ride 2025 - Traditional 2274g

22" Kerope Medium Thin High Ride (2274g)

Zildjian has just released the legendary handmade KEROPE series again, and Junk Rock Drum Shop has 6 of these incredible ride cymbals to share! 

Featured here is the 22" Thin High Ride, in a light 2274g. SOUND FILE BELOW!

Here are some details:

• As we write this ad, these are being released by Zildjian TODAY May 5, 2025. We will add their descriptions to this ad, but for now I will share my assessment.
• This cymbal is very light, has that wonderful wobble, and a very clear stick definition and wonderful crash.
• These have a classic taper, strong bell presence (see video sound file). 
• This is the lightest of the three 22" we have. This is considered "Medium Thin High Ride" and lives up to that name. Plenty of stick definition but also great wash (see video) I'd say it's as thin and light that a cymbal can be as a ride in 22" and is a great cymbal living up to the Kerope name.
• Just incredible, I would pair these with older Kerope but also with old K's and A's. Great for jazz, improvisational music, acoustic, rock, singer-songwriter, and of course I can't wait to try it in some recordings. Very versatile cymbal.
• There will be fingerprints, some light stick marks, and factory marks as this was hand made and then played in shop for our demo videos.

This is incredible. Please check our Instagram/Facebook as we announce when new items will be listed on reverb. Also, more of these Kerope are on there way!

**Selling as is based on photos and description. As with all vintage and used gear, we inspect and describe to the best of our ability. There may always be new discoveries from owner to owner. We also cannot guarantee a perfect match of color, finish, or wrap to your current drums. Please ask questions prior to purchase. We’re happy to inspect further as needed.

**Shipments will happen on weekdays only. So if something is purchased between Friday 5pm EST and Monday 9am EST, there could be a wait until boxed and shipped. Thank you!

**For cymbal weights, we often share the gram weight. Some cymbals were weighed by the factory or maker, some by former owners, some by our shop. So the labeled weight in grams is a ballpark, and we do not claim it to be a perfect science. Gram weight may vary from scale to scale, owner to owner and we maintain that the weight we mention is approximate and a ballpark.
