DREAM 15" Dark Matter Series Hi Hat (opened)

The Dark Matter range of cymbals from the Canadian company Dream undergoes a special process of reheating the finished cymbal, hand beating it again and then cooling it rapidly in a water bath. This gives the cymbals a top layer of baked soot and ash, but underneath it is still a pure bronze cymbal. This process gives the cymbals not only a unique appearance, but also specific sonic qualities that are then enhanced by the aging process over several months. The cymbal thus evolves over time and provides your playing with a unique, rich sound.

This 15" hi-hat has a rather dry, dark and very dense sound that simply stands out in any situation.

DREAM Cymbals and Gongs Inc. was founded in 2005 by a collaboration of passionate Canadian musical instrument designers and the art and tradition of many generations of Chinese gong makers and smiths. DREAM Cymbals and Gongs are manufactured exclusively in a family-owned factory in China's famed Wuhan region. For many generations, this factory has produced some of the finest gongs in the world. Using traditional techniques, each cymbal is cast from premium materials, then undergoes a "maturation" process, and finally is hand-hammered and turned by skilled craftsmen who carefully fine-tune even the finest details to ensure the cymbal delivers exceptional sonic performance. This entire process, along with strict quality control, ensures that you get only the finest pieces that the company can be truly proud of.
