Sabian Paragon Chinese Cymbal 20"

Sabian Paragon Chinese Cymbal 20" – Dry, Direct Tone for Professional Drummers

The Sabian 20" Paragon Chinese cymbal delivers a distinctly different character from its 19" counterpart, offering a more controlled, direct sound with reduced wash. Handcrafted from pure B20 bronze, this medium-weight cymbal features a small bell, steeply angled bow, and flanged lip with traditional oriental-style swish-hammering. The result is a drier, harder attack that resists carrying away, making it ideal for drummers seeking tonal contrast and precision in their cymbal setup. Originally designed for Neil Peart, the Paragon series combines the best sound-defining characteristics from Sabian's AA, AAX, and HH collections.

Built for dynamic responsiveness and durability, this 20" Chinese cymbal performs reliably across diverse musical applications and playing styles. Whether you're layering textures in a complex drum kit or seeking a focused, articulate crash-ride sound, the Paragon delivers musicality without sacrificing power.
