Description

Designed to contrast with the more open 19″ Paragon China, this 20″ model delivers a tighter, more direct attack with less spread. Its smaller flange and controlled profile ensure a focused, articulate response that works perfectly for precise accents in complex arrangements. It’s a more direct sounding model, drier and harder, created to give Neil Peart a contrast between his two China cymbals. Handcrafted from pure Sabian B20 bronze, Paragon cymbals offer subtle looks and powerful, dynamic sounds. Created using AA-style hammering and an innovative mix of sound-defining features from the AA, AAX, and HH series, Paragon defines a new, closer relationship between power and musicality in cymbals that are dynamically responsive, highly durable, and effective in a wide range of applications.
