Dream Bliss all the way dude! So versatile! Great for rock, pop, jazz and pretty much anything else you might need it for!

Dream Bliss Paper Thin crashes or anything from the Vintage Bliss line would probably be perfect!

Dream Cymbals. Bought a 20" Bliss Ride and fell in love. Haven't bought anything from another cymbal brand for over 2 years.

There are some great video series YouTube about modifying and repairing cymbals. You could definitely pick up some cheaper B8 pies and make them sound a little better than stock. Check out Lance Campeau and Nicky Moon for some great instructional videos.

Definitely dig the sound of the Ageans most. I feel like because there is more material as opposed to the Zildjian stuff which appears to have more holes closer together, the Ageans have more of an actual tone instead of being clunky like the Zildjians. I also think that the band of solid...

15" Bliss sound beautiful but you could also try the tri-hats or Dark Matter Energy series stuff. I find a lot of the Dream lines mix well together.

Dream makes some great cymbals. I've heard that they are inconsistent but I have yet to play one that doesnt sound great to my ears. I own 8 Dream cymbals from 3 different line-ups - Bliss, Energy and a Traditional China. I don't own any Dark Matter but I've played on a few and they are...

Yes, mind you, I use one as a second crash because it is pretty thin and has a really nice wash. 20" modified Zildjian Ride to the right of my rack tom, 20" Dream Bliss Ride (used as a crash/ride) just to the right and above my main ride.

The last few years I've been buying a lot of Dream cymbals. I wouldn't call it a collection but I've got a full set for the music I play and a couple of extras that I've found at great prices. I definitely plan to keep growing my stock of Dream cymbals. They make so many nice cymbals, I'd like...

Dream 18" Energy Crash Dream 18" Bliss Crash Both are great, just depends on the setting.

Theres one cymbal patina solution that Spinbal makes. I haven't tried it but based on the video it works pretty good and fast. Note that this one doesn't seem to effect the tone of the cymbal much. A homemade solution is Salt and Ammonia. Lance Campeau has a video on how this works. Make sure...

Hey, if you've got some cracked cymbals or entry level stuff you never use anymore, give it a go! There's a lot of info online about proper techniques and how different things will effect the sound of a cymbal. I just do it for fun so I don't have any audio or video clips yet. If anything, I...

I've been working on a 20" Zildjian ZXT Titanium Rock Ride for a little bit. It was heavy and bright and very pingy. I sanded off the titanium coating, did a re-hammer on it and gave it a patina treatment. This seemed to darken the cymbal a lot but it still wasn't as crashable as I wanted it. I...

18" or 16" Dream Pang may fit nicely and you cant beat the price!

I bought an 18" Dream Energy crash a few months ago but have only played it a few times. Totally forgot to post on here but now im looking into building a nice set of Dreams. My goal setup is 15" Bliss hats, 18" Energy Crash, 22" Energy Crash/Ride, 16" Pang china Check out Dream if you havent...

Wow, thanks for the great advice everyone. I'm going to stick with the boom to the left and maybe play with a few different positions. If I still find that its getting in the way, I might try a gooseneck over the shoulder. I also have a good idea of what mics to look at thanks to a lot of you...

Hey everyone, I recently joined a new project where I will be doing some backing vocals as well as drumming. I haven't done this in any of my previous projects so I'm looking for some advice. When I was at practice, I noticed that I hit the mic with my sticks a few times. I had it placed to...

Mid - Late 70's is the winner for me. I feel like the prog rock that was coming out at that time really paved the way for creative musicians. Some of my favourite drum beats come out of late 70's records - stuff that still inspires me to be creative today.

I own the 8.5X14 SLP Big Black Snare and it is the best snare I've ever owned. Crisp high pitched crack when tuned high, full bodied sound when tuned low. I'd love to hear the 15 for comparison. I use this mostly for punk rock and metal but it could be used for other rock settings. Hope your...

Just picked up a 22" Dream Lion China that I found used for a great deal. I also just ordered a 18" Dream Energy Crash. Stoked to be building my Dream Cymbals collection. They are some fantastic cymbals!
