Paragon 19″ Chinese
The SABIAN 19” Paragon Chinese is very much a traditional model in its design and sound. It’s extremely trashy, with a very small bell, short, steeply angled bow, and wide, flanged lip with aggressive HHX super-sized hammering for maximum sensitivity. The response of this cymbal is very open and easy to activate. It’s so trashy it can be brought to a roar using just a finger. The response is very dark and very agitated, a dirty sound that until it existed, Neil Peart was unable to find in any cymbal.

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.
