Sabian Paragon Chinese Cymbal 19"

Sabian Paragon Chinese Cymbal 19" – Dark, Responsive Percussion Accent

The Sabian 19" Paragon Chinese delivers a distinctly dark and agitated sound character, engineered for drummers seeking aggressive, expressive cymbal response. Handcrafted from pure B20 bronze, this thin-profile Chinese cymbal combines traditional design principles with modern hammering techniques to produce a dirty, open tone that activates with minimal effort. Its extremely thin construction and small bell allow for responsive articulation—even a light finger strike can bring the cymbal to a full roar. The wide, flanged lip and steeply angled bow work together to create a cymbal that cuts through in any musical context while maintaining dynamic sensitivity.

Paragon cymbals represent Sabian's fusion of AA, AAX, and HH series innovations, balancing raw power with musical versatility. Whether you're layering complex textures in studio work or adding dramatic accents to live performances, this Chinese cymbal delivers the responsiveness and tonal character that discerning percussionists demand.
