Dream BPT16 Bliss Paper Thin Crash Cymbal – 16"
Safe and secure checkout
The Dream BPT16 is a 16" Bliss Paper Thin Crash cymbal, designed for drummers who want a warm, responsive crash with a soft feel and quick decay.
Part of Dream’s Bliss series, this cymbal is made from B20 bronze and uses a special hammering and lathing process to create a thin, flexible cymbal with a musical response. It opens up quickly, giving you a full crash sound without feeling harsh or overpowering.
It is a good choice for studio work, live playing, lighter setups, acoustic music, worship, jazz, indie, pop and any drummer who wants a crash cymbal that responds easily at lower dynamics.
What Does It Actually Sound Like?
The Bliss Paper Thin Crash has a warm, soft and expressive sound.
Because it is paper thin, it opens up easily without needing to be hit hard. The response is quick and explosive, but the decay is fast and controlled, so it does not hang around too long in the mix.
It is not a heavy, cutting rock crash. This is more about musical warmth, fast response and a cymbal that feels alive under the stick.
Why Choose a Paper Thin Crash?
A paper thin crash is useful when you want a cymbal that responds quickly and easily.
It is especially good for softer players, lower-volume gigs, recording and setups where a heavier cymbal would feel too stiff or loud. The flexible feel also makes it very expressive, giving a wide range of dynamics from gentle accents to fuller crashes.
If you want a cymbal that can open up without a lot of force, the BPT16 makes a lot of sense.
Who Is It For?
This cymbal is suitable for drummers who want a warm, responsive crash with a softer feel.
It suits jazz, folk, acoustic, worship, indie, pop, studio work and general dynamic playing. It is also a good option for players who prefer thinner cymbals and want something that reacts quickly under the stick.
If you play very heavy music or need a loud, cutting crash for high-volume stages, a thicker crash cymbal may be more suitable.

Please Note
This listing is for the cymbal only.
Cymbal stand, felts, wing nut, cymbal bag, drum kit and other accessories are not included unless supplied separately.
As with all thin cymbals, good technique and sensible playing volume will help prolong its life. If you are a very heavy hitter, a thicker crash may be more suitable.
Not Sure If This Is the Right Cymbal?
The Dream BPT16 is a good choice if you want a warm, fast-opening 16" crash cymbal with a soft, flexible feel.
If you need a louder, brighter cymbal with more projection, compare with a medium or heavier crash. If you want a darker, more expressive cymbal for recording, lower-volume gigs or dynamic playing, the Bliss Paper Thin range is well worth considering.
