Dream cymbals?

Posts: 10 Threads: 3

Hey all,

I'm thinking of buying a Dream 16" Bliss crash from Lincoln Drum Centre, for about £70.

I know they get quite a good amount of positive feedback, as they have amazing quality, but are rather cheap. Before people start mentioning Zildjian K's or Sabian AAX's, i dont have alot of money...

I heard the crash while i was at the store, I must say it sounded very powerfull, and had a long resonance to it.

I know they're not too well know around the UK, came into the UK from Canada 2 or 3 years ago :)

13" Arbiter hi hats
14" Zildjian ZHT fast crash
10" Sabian B8pro China/splash
Pearl double bass pedal

Those are decent cymbals for the money. I have a pair of 15" hats, they sound great. Light weight, clean chick and play well open or closed. The ting about them is you have to hand pick through them, if the drum shop owner or manager will allow it, as they can be a bit inconsistent since they are hand hammered. Ask to see as many as they will allow and work through them. Getting the one you want is crucial to your experience with them, and remember, they are going to sound different in your drum room, with your other cymbals.

Right, I'm quite convinced they're good now, I think i'll start with a pair of contact hats.

Cheers guys :)

Also, Wuhan has a smoking deal on a complete set called "Western Traditional"

and they are selling here for less than 200USD most places.
