Dream Bliss 20" Ride (Hand-Hammered, Traditional Finish) – Dark, Crashable Ride w/ Woody Stick (BRI20)

The Bliss 20" Ride keeps things musical: a hand-hammered, hand-lathed cymbal that balances clear stick articulation with a brooding, dark wash. Heavier than the Bliss Crash/Ride so the ping stays present, yet it still opens up when you lean in. It’s that old-school warmth with modern control—equally at home on jazz gigs, indie sessions, and songwriter sets.
