A VERY DIFFERENT BEAST THAN THE 19" CHINESE, THE SABIAN 20" PARAGON CHINESE IS STILL VERY MUCH A TRADITIONAL MODEL IN ITS DESIGN AND SOUND. IT'S MEDIUM-WEIGHT, WITH A SMALL BELL, SHORT, STEEPLY ANGLED BOW, AND A SMALL, FLANGED LIP WITH ORIENTAL STYLE SWISH-HAMMERING FOR A DRIER, HARDER SOUND. THE RESPONSE OF THIS CYMBAL IS NOT AS OPEN AS THE 19" CHINESE, AND IT DOESN'T GET CARRIED AWAY AS EASILY. 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.
