Review: "Dream Cymbals are manufactured in China, being totally hammered and lathed by hand, directly from the cast bronze disc, rather than put through rollers to flatten them before hammering. The results are cymbals that have a very strong wash that sustains. The current review covers their 24″ Bliss Half Cup Ride Cymbal. This basically means the bell is about half the size it normally would be. This gives the cymbal a strong ping, and just enough wash to make it interesting. The bell is crisp without a lot of ring, because the bell is small in relation to the bow. The crash is gong-like, and therefore, it is not really suitable for crashing for any type of rock or jazz.

The ping is fast, with a short sustain. So, a single ping does not produce a lot of wash. It is only with continual riding (which is what you would be doing when playing) that the wash emerges."
