Dream cymbals?

[Oddrulerofmars]

Hello everyone. I was just curious as to whether anybodies heard about the fairly new company of cymbals called dream cymbals. I saw them at my local music store and I though "wow, not very expensive." And then I tried them out. Very dark, at least the Bliss series, they sounded like they'd be great for a drummer who enjoys the sounds of older cymbals. I guess they're made by the wuhan company? Don't quote me on that though. I'm not quite sure. Anyways, I was thinking of buying a new crash and I'm leaning towards one of the 18 inch Bliss series. Does anyone own any of these cymbals?

well i guess if they sound good, to me it almost feel's like sombody at the canada sabian plant got let go and decided to make his own company. prolly not but if you like the sound feel and look go for it.

I play with the 14" Bliss Series and they sound great. They're thin but durable (I play rock and Gospel). They respond very well and can get very loud when played open. They have a very nice sizzle sound. They're also perfect for a piano jazz or a moderate sized big band setting (about 7 horns, bass, piano and two guitars). The "chick" sound won't cut very well with anything larger. They have good stick definition and rebound so that you can play and hear intricate patterns played on them. They also sound good if you just play on one of them with the high hats open and if you rolled on it with a marimba mallet. All in all... very good and versatile cymbals... especially for the price.

I've never played them, but they get some pretty decent reviews on some drum and cymbal sites?

I have a dream bliss 12" splash and a 22" bliss contact ride. It is by far one of my favorite cymbals. It is very heavy (almost 7lbs) and sounds like a K custom but with more wash...give me a week or so and I can get you a side by side recording haha

The drummer in the band I'm recording this week has a Dream ride. I was very impressed with how it sounded.
Not washy at all like my Sabian 22" thick ride.
He even used it as a crash a couple of times and it sounded nice.
