The very first Bliss prototypes were a unique micro-lathed hand hammered cymbal with a signature soft edge, low profile bell and gradual taper. Overnight these became collectors items. So popular we released them as their own line: Vintage Bliss.Their unique shape and weight give them and even wilder froth of ocean in the sound, while maintaining a rich warm stick sound. Supremely responsive and full bodied they also have a fairly fast decay. These make truly functional crash-rides, the crashes are full and punchy while maintaining a defined stick sound supported by just the right amount of wash.

Included Items

The Dream Vintage Bliss Series 18" Crash / Ride Cymbal is truly unique. Quite thin, they produce explosive crashes that get out of the way with medium decay, a soft but clear stick sound, clear bell tone and the coveted edge wobble. They have just a hint of raw ocean and chilli pepper in the tone. They are perfectly suited anywhere a rich, dark, full bodied personal musical statement is required. BLISS are vintage style cymbals with a personality all their own. Offered in even sizes, they are totally hand-hammered, microlathed plates with a low bridge, small but clear bells and are quite thin. They are exceptionally resilient and slightly soft on the stick. The undertones are warm and rich, an edge of dragon's breath, but never overpower the stick sound. The separation between stick and overtones is clear and the pitch range is low and dark. These cymbals are exceptionally versatile and are suitable for all musical applications.
