Drum City Guitarland Product Reviews: Zildjian Kerope
Past Reborn
As drummers we’re always looking for that sound! Finding a cymbal has to be one of the most complex/tedious adventures for a drummer. Avedis Zildjian has brought a sound back in the metals we hit that are reminiscent of the 50’s and 60’s sounds but, with a relevant modern music tonality. “KEROPE SERIES”
Kerope is named in honor of Kerope Zildijain, a man that presided over one of the most storied periods in the Zildjian history. This line has a dark, rich and complex style. With sizes consisting of 14” and 15” Hats, 18” and 19” crash/rides, 20”and 22” rides. Zildjian had the help of Zach Danzinger, a New York based drummer. The goal in mind was to creat a new line that would capture the authentic feel, look, and sound of the K Zildjian cymbal line. Known for their rich, dark tones and olde world appearance. Zildjian went to the vault to draw inspiration from the Past’s very best crafted cymbals. “We carefully studied every nuance of decades-old cymbals. Their bells, profiles, hammering, lathing, tapers, and weights. Our goal was to achieve and old world look and sound being sought after by so many artists today,” says Paul Francis, Zildjian Director of Research and Development.
Drum City Guitarland has every size in stock today. We had one customer drive four hours the day they released April 14th to purchase their Dark, Rich, and Complex Kerope’s. You can see and hear a great demonstration of this by Paul Francis at http://www.drumforum.org/index.php?/topic/93737-new-zildjian-k-kerope-line/. Nothing is better than seeing and hearing some in person though. Stop in at Drum City Guitarland today.
