Why Choose the Dream Contact 16" Crash?
If you just want one main crash that covers most situations, this is an easy pick. It’s got more presence and volume than many other Dream models, but it still feels responsive under the stick and doesn’t get harsh. The larger bell helps it cut when you dig in, while the body of the cymbal gives you that “fast but fat” crash that suits rock, pop, funk and general all-round playing.
For smaller kits or compact setups, a 16" size keeps things tight and punchy without overpowering the rest of the drums, and it records well thanks to its quick attack and tidy decay.
