Dream Bliss Crash/Ride Cymbal 22" Review

This ride is not for loud music, so if that is the style you play look elsewhere. It is a true crash ride that has complex over and under tones, crashes beautifully, and when you are playing ostinados, a slight accent is easily heard over the pattern. The bell is small, but clear and well suited for acoustic music.

For acoustic and lighter jazz I will put this ride up against anything in Zildjian's line. In fact, this cymbal is very similar to the Zildjian K Thin Dark Ride, and I believe that if you tested both side-by-side, blindfolded, you would be hard pressed to tell them apart. If you are shopping for a new ride for jazz do give this ride a look and listen. I think you will be impressed.

It is also a very complex cymbal that has some wobble on the edges, and a lot of interesting over and undertones. Be aware that no two are alike. In fact, there is a wide variation between and among these rides and they are best picked out in person.

Much of their character comes from the fact that they are completely hand made like the treasured old Istanbul K Zildjian cymbals. Like the Ks, however, you have to sift through many to find the one ride that has the sound you want.

Also note that these cymbals need to be played in. They are a bit wild and trashy when you first get them, but after a few months of steady playing they start to mellow. They usually settle into their final character around six months. If you want to hasten the play-in process, mallet rolls is a common trick. This entails taking a pair of mallets and rolling them around the cymbal for 20 minutes per day for a week or so. Start at the outside edge and work your way towards the bell, going around the circumference of the cymbal.

I've owned a set of these for three years, and although I have over 35 Zildjian cymbals from which to chose, when it comes to acoustic and light electric jazz (and some blues) this is the set I usually grab.
