Dream 19" 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.

This 19” crash-ride exudes a dark, rich warmth with excellent stick sound. Its small bell is articulate and clear. Something about this odd size is quite appealing. More body than an 18, the 19 is a more tempered beast than the brawn of a 20 or 22.
