This 24 Bliss ride provides an excellent rounded and woody stick attack sound with the Clear ping of a flat ride. It has a delightful vintage style wobble from bell to edge and a small distinctive-sounding bell. This is a flag ship cymbal of Dream and there is only one other like it - the Contact series version.
Founded in 2005 and operating out of Canada, Dream Cymbals crafts hand-made drum set and orchestral cymbals. Though based in Canada, Dream manufactures all of their products in a family-owned gong factory in the Wuhan region of China. Opting for traditional Chinese cymbal-making methods as opposed to the popular Turkish means, each Dream cymbal is unique, even two of the exact same model and size.
The Bliss series is made in a traditional micro-lathing process with a smaller bell, broad bow design and light weight. The result is an atmospheric character with a brighter tonality than other Dream lines and organic stick feel.
Light in weight, the Small Bell Flat Ride features almost no wash and a marked ping.
