Created out of Dream's unrelenting need to explore sound, the Dark Matter line was released in 2010 and quickly sent the industry into a tailspin trying to catch up.
Dark Matter is created from a proprietary process where the cymbals are fired repeatedly. The extreme stresses from this action create changes to the cymbals on a molecular level, taking months of aging to mature and evolve. These cymbals continue to grow as they are broken in and played upon, becoming part of your own unique musical voice.
The Dream 24" Dark Matter Bliss Series Ride Cymbal adds the warm complex wash of the Bliss Series to the dry articulation of the Dark Matter Series. Dream starts off this double crafting process with a completely hand forged and hand hammered bliss cymbal. Then it is fired A second time and Left on its own for months creating dramatic changes to the cymbals molecules and producing dark matter's signature charred finish and tone. The massive 24″ size takes this melody of sound and only ramps it up for big sound musical situations.
