I am looking for any sizes of those Meinl 1980s Dragon cymbals- they made splashes in 10,12 & 14" and 16", 18" crashes and 20" rides. I don't know if they had 22"s. Also, they made hihats.
I have a Meinl Dragon 20" which I am really fond of and would like to develop a complete set. If you have any of these please PM me. Thanks!
Here is my 20" Dragon

You and me both buddy. I'm trying to find me some of these elusive hidden dragons for a while now.
About 6 months ago there was a 20" - the exact same as one I already have- on auction here in Japan. 2 months ago there was an 18" crash. So in addition to ebay you can peruse Yahooauctionjapan. This will get you there:http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l242262137
A few years ago I purchased this set of Dream Bliss cymbals- 24", 22", 20", 19", 18", 14hats, and 10" -especially the 18,19, and 22" are very similar to the Meinl Dragons I've owned and played. An alternative?

Hi thanks for the reply. I've posted another thread and I got a similar reply about Dream Bliss being a good alternative. I'd like a Meinl Dragon because I've seen John McEntire, drummer with Tortoise play this cymbal and it sounds excellent! Thanks for the info. Nice website.

You can see and hear the cymbal here. It sounds great! Cool1

thanks- seems my Photobucket images are not posting up at all here this week- very strange. I almost picked up an 18" recently. If they pop up on here again maybe I'll buy them and send you a mail?
They made odd sizes too. I have a 15, I've seen a pair of 17" labelled band and an 11 splash.
The only 22" Dragons I've ever seen are chinas and are labelled 55. I think that they also are the only cymbals labelled only in centimeters that I've ever seen.
If you don't mind the label search also for Cobra and Rancan cymbals.
