Wuhan Dream Bliss... some sound very nice most are decent. Very deep trashy sound, quite good for jazz and I know alot of players who have added one to their arsenal.. very good value apparently.

Just last Friday I picked out the cymbals above from http://www.frontrangebronze.com, only an hour and half from my house. These cymbals are some of the best I've played, much less owned. They respond like nothing you can imagine. And I got ALL of them for under $500!!!

Please check out the site above; Chris Fisher, the guy who distributes these, is really helpful...every cymbal on the site has its own sound bite and a physical description of the cymbal.

You can't go wrong with these!

I`d have to agree with Todd, they do rock, I just got a matched set of contact and energy series, 12, 14, 16, and an 18", 425$ cnd, they are loud, explosive, with the exception of the 18, medium to short decay, totally awesome, the ones I got are very turkish sounding.
these are made in wuhun but aren`t wuhon`s, in Canada, Mountain Rythem brings them in, can`t buy direct, I think they`re a wholesaler.

If you want INEXSPENSIVE, not cheep, cymbals these are great.

I have a 22" Dream Bliss that approximates the sound of an old Istanbul K Zildjian.
I also have a dream Contact 12" splash that sounds like an old A Zildjian from the 30's and 40's.

These cymbals do not (and I can't emphasize DO NOT enough) sound like modern day Zildjians. The prices are great, they are all hand hammered and have blemishes on them just like you find on a Wuhan china. Due to the fact that they are not machine made they can sound very different from one to the next so I advise you to find a seller who has sound clips if you can't lay a stick on one yourself.

Contact Chris Fisher at FrontRangeBronze.com and he'll give you an idea of shipping prices on Dream's. Trust me, you'll be very happy you checked out these cymbals...I have not taken any of my Sabian's or Zildjian's on a gig since I got these Dream cymbals (and no, I am not associated with the company...just a VERY satisfied customer).

i was browsing a local music shop today, and ended up leaving with a 20" Bliss Series Crash/Ride. i was surprised to actually see Dream cymbals in person, and was astounded by their quality. they all sounded great, but this cymbal in particular really stood out. then there was the price... i got my cymbal for $99.99. definitely a worthwhile purchase, considering i can probably sell my old Ziljdian ride for about as much as i paid for my new Dream ride.
