Dream Cymbals and Gongs is a Canadian cymbal and percussion company founded by Andy Morris, a percussionist who previously worked as equipment manager for the percussion ensemble Nexus. The company partners with a family of traditional gong and cymbal smiths in China who hand-hammer cast B20 bronze using techniques rooted in a centuries-old Wuhan tradition, with final tuning, lathing, and quality control carried out in Canada.
The catalog spans Western-style drum-kit cymbals as well as a deep range of gongs, hand percussion, and effects. Core cymbal lines include Bliss and Vintage Bliss (thin, dark, and dry cymbals aimed at jazz and lower-volume settings), Contact (wider-lathed, more versatile), and Energy (heavier weights for louder rock and fusion playing), alongside series like Dark Matter, Pang, Ignition, and Libra. The gong lineup covers Chau (Tam Tam), Feng (wind), and various planetary and therapy gongs used by percussionists, orchestral players, and sound-healing practitioners.
Dream has built a reputation on hand-hammered, non-uniform cymbals that favor organic character over mass-produced consistency, and the company runs a Cymbal Recycling Program that takes back broken bronze in exchange for store credit. The brand is distributed internationally and is commonly stocked by retailers such as Guitar Center, Steve Weiss Music, and Gear4music.
Dream Cymbals has 139 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Crash Cymbals, Ride Cymbals, and Gongs.

Most Dream Cymbals products fall in the mid-tier range — professional-grade without flagship pricing.
