The Dream 16" Dark Matter Energy Crash delivers a raw, dark, and explosive sound with a controlled decay. Each cymbal is hand-hammered and uniquely finished through Dream’s signature “Dark Matter” refiring process, which burns off impurities and gives it a distinctive, charred appearance. This treatment produces a cymbal with complex overtones, a gritty texture, and a quick, powerful attack that quickly settles into a smoky wash. The Energy series offers extra volume and projection while maintaining the organic warmth and responsiveness that Dream cymbals are known for. Its unlathed bell enhances articulation and clarity, making it equally suited for rock, fusion, or modern jazz drummers seeking an expressive, dark crash with punch and depth.
