Dream Energy Series
Cymbal · Canada
The Energy series is Dream's loud, projecting cymbal line, voiced for rock and other high-volume settings. Energy cymbals deliver a bright, bold tone with explosive attack and long sustain, built to cut through and hold presence. Hand-hammered and lathed from B20 bronze, the line includes crashes, splashes, rides, hi-hats, and crash/rides.
-
Dream Vintage Bliss Series
Cymbal · Canada
Vintage Bliss is Dream's vintage-voiced cymbal line, hand-hammered and micro-lathed from B20 bronze for a dark, washy character with a softer attack and longer decay. The cymbals use a medium-thin weight with a pronounced edge taper, a wider, flatter bell, and a low bridge, which keeps them expressive and responsive to touch. The line is offered mainly as crashes and crash/rides in roughly 17 to 22 inch sizes that suit both modern and vintage settings.
-
Dream Dark Matter Series
Cymbal · Canada
Dark Matter is Dream's darkened cymbal line, made by taking existing Dream models through a proprietary process of repeated firing and hammering that reworks the bronze for a darker, drier, and more complex voice. The treatment yields raw, organic-sounding versions of cymbals such as Bliss and Energy, along with models unique to the line like the Moon and Flat Earth rides. All Dark Matter cymbals are hand-hammered and lathed from B20 bronze.

Dream Bliss Series
Cymbal · Canada
The Bliss series is Dream's thin, dark cymbal line, painstakingly hand-hammered and micro-lathed from B20 bronze. Bliss cymbals are voiced for warmth and a full, washy spectrum with rapid decay, staying gentle at low volume and opening into dark undertones when pushed harder. The line spans paper-thin crashes, crashes, hi-hats, splashes, crash/rides, and rides.
-
Dream Contact Series
Cymbal · Canada
The Contact series is Dream's bright, focused cymbal line, built for clarity, power, and crisp, fast stick response. Contact cymbals use a deeper profile and a medium-tapered bow that gives sharp articulation alongside a balanced wash. Hand-hammered and lathed from B20 bronze, the line includes crashes, rides, heavy rides, hi-hats, splashes, crash/rides, and small bell flat rides, in sizes from roughly 8 to 24 inches.
