Cast bronze ride cymbal with half-raw, half-lathed surface for a striking contrast in sound
The Dream Eclipse ride is a cast bronze cymbal that features a raw center taken from the Moon Ride, for a highly articulate and smoky stick sound. The edge is lathed finely, and can be ridden for an entirely different, more washy sound. The result is a distinctive mix of light and dark that gives the series its name. These cymbals are crafted by firing the disc in the oven, hand hammering the surface, immersing the cymbal in saltwater and then firing it again. Lastly, Dream lathes the outer edge in the same style as their popular Bliss cymbals. This results in a unique contrast in look and sound. Playing the bell, bow and edge will reveal several distinct sound profiles.
