Dream forges, hammers, and lathes its cymbals all by hand. The human element comes through in their appearance. The surface areas of the Vintage Bliss and Bliss lines sport ultra-thin stripes created by micro-lathing. The 18" Vintage Bliss behaves like a big brother to the 17, a bit assertive and fatter in sound while remaining thoughtful and versatile. 2 years warranty against defect in material or workmanship. Defective product must be returned to Dream for replacement. Dark froth of sound . Solid attack . Warm bell . Micro lathed by hand . Low profile, gentle bridge
