Dream 18" Bliss Crash/Ride

Bliss series are new cymbals made in the ancient tradition. Every one is an individual work of art, painstakingly hand forged, and hand hammered.

They have a warmth that seduces at low volume and thunders with a froth of dark undertones at more extreme volumes. These cymbals come alive, shimmering and wobbling as if the mere touch of human hands excites the cymbal and it can’t wait to get it’s voice out there and sing.

They are exceptionally resilient and slightly soft on the stick. The undertones are warm, rich, dark with an edge of dragon’s breath. Each one is a unique, complex voice that will excite your imagination.

Dream forges, hammers, and lathes all of our cymbals by hand. The human element comes through in their appearance. The surface areas of the Bliss lines sport ultra-thin stripes created by micro-lathing coupled with unique hammer marks. This technique creates complex and musical sounding cymbals that respond to your every desire... what a Dream.
