PANG

Neither a china, nor a ride nor a swish, the Pang Series combines elements of all of these to create a whole new colour in cymbal sounds
The unique inverted bell, combined with its radical shape, creates an extremely fast crash with a sound palette that is entirely new. Loud, brash, but not strident.
Libor Hadrava says:
All Dream Cymbals have a full, unique and rich soul that allows me to bring to life all my musical ideas, emotions and feelings. Using their voices I can now truly express myself. Dream Cymbals are sonic Heaven on Earth.
LION / CHINA
Lion Cymbals, also commonly called ‘Chinese cymbals’, have the
distinctive sharp, cylindrical bell (traditionally the cymbal’s handle) and turned-up edges.
Available from 12 – 24 inches, they can explode with fiery bursts of energy or contribute simmering roars of fire. They have found a home in the west from the concert hall to the rock stage.
The centers of these Lion cymbals are drilled for drumset or percussion rig mounting.
Gordon Stout says:
Dream Cymbals are the only cymbals I actually enjoy playing. The orchestral crash and suspended cymbals have the most even spread of overtones. They are easy to play and feel very natural. Dream Cymbals and Gongs possess many unique and fascinating qualities of sound for a reasonable cost.
