Dream cymbals are a line of hand-crafted instruments from Wuhan, China, that come remarkably close to THAT sound.  Chinese cymbal smiths have been creating forged percussion instruments for millennia and Dream cymbals represent the pinnacle of Chinese b20 bronze working.  Dream cymbal smiths have taken the best characteristics of increasingly expensive vintage K Istanbul and Avedis Zildjian cymbals from the 1940’s & 1950’s to create responsive, high-quality plates, at a very inexpensive price.

Dream cymbals come in three lines:

The Bliss Series are thin, hand shaped and hammered, b20 cymbals that come close to the classic ‘K Istanbul’ sound. 

The Contact Series are slightly heavier, hand shaped and hammered, b23 cymbals that sound similar to vintage A’s from the 1940’s and 1950’s.

The Energy Series are machine hammered b20 cymbals that are darker versions of modern Zildjian A’s and A Customs.
