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.

Crafted with a a more convex bow shape, wider lathing and larger bell than other Dream cymbal series, the Contact is designed for higher-decibel playing and bright response. The cymbals are typically medium in weight with deep hammering patterns.

The Contact Hi-Hat is warm and woody in character with an understated presence suited for softer environments.
