Dream Cymbals China Cymbals

Dream's China is the aggressive end of the catalogue: a flanged edge, a fast decay and no interest in subtlety. Crashed, it is a raw accent with real punch. Ridden, the flange opens into a wide wash that rock and metal players use as a texture rather than a hit.

Each one is cast from Dream's B20 bronze, then hammered and lathed by hand rather than pressed, which is why two cymbals of the same size are never quite identical. Diameters offered here run 12 in, 14 in, 16 in, 18 in, 20 in, 22 in and 24 in, each ordered as its own part number.
