14” Zildjian Kerope Hi-Hat Pair [2021] NOS 956g/1162g

A beautiful and increasingly hard-to-find NOS pair of 14” Zildjian Kerope hi-hats, inspired by the legendary handmade K Zildjian cymbals of the 1950s and 1960s.

The Kerope series was developed to recreate the warm, dark and complex character of old Turkish K cymbals. With their distinctive hammering, traditional lathing and individually aged finish, these hi-hats capture the look and feel of a much earlier era.

At just 956g top and 1162g bottom, this is a particularly lightweight and responsive combination, offering a soft, woody stick attack, a warm and beautifully textured wash and a delicate, musical foot chick.
