SABIAN

Description

Medium-weight cymbal with large bell boosting volume and power for fast, explosive response.

Developed with Neil Peart of Rush, Sabian Paragon Series Cymbals blend 2 styles of lathing for a very balanced cymbal tone. Pinpoint lathing creates a narrower groove for a fast, lively response on the top, while the traditional AA lathing creates a wider groove for a fuller, richer tone on the bottom side.
SABIAN Neil Peart Paragon Crash Cymbal 16 in.

amazing cymbals.

I play hardcore & deathmetal. These cymbals are amazing & fits the part perfectly. I own the 16" crash, 14" high hats, & 22" ride. The high hats are smooth, the ride & it's bell sounds sick & the crash is loud but clear. These cymbals are simply amazing, if any drummer wants to get serious, then they need some serious cymbals. The Neil Peart Paragon's are the perfect cymbals...hands down.

Loud and Gongy

This crash was not for me. It was way loud, but unpleasantly gongy sounding. A lot of mid range, and very little shimmer. However, it's built just like all Sabian stuff, really great. It's probably suited for heavier music, I'm sure it cuts really well.

    I just had the privilage of buying the 18 inch Paragon Crash, and the sound is incredible! however, its very loud! it goes on the right side of my kit, and already my right ear is popping. Tip: put some duct tape on the bottom of it. it makes it sound darker.

    I have been playing Sabian Cymbals for many years. I have 15 and 16 inch thin crash. Until I put them up against the Paragons, I thought their was nothing that could beat their sound. I am so impressed with tone, I am looking at now the 16 inch paragon to replace my current cymbal. Beats Zildian K Custom hands down.

    I am a very big Peart fan and I love what he brings to the art of percussion. Having sorted my bias about him, I went to a pro shop to try the new Paragons out. The feel of the crashes were very smooth and did not bite with overtones even when administering harder hits. The sound is full and bright at every volume and blends with so many different styles of music. I really like the way these cymbals sound when you hang on them during beats! These cymbals are a great tool for shaping your sound. I play with two 18" Paragon crashes and the matching Paragon hats on my setup and balance them with HHX and APX crashes and a HH Dry Ride(I did not prefer the Paragon ride over my HH). The overall satisfaction these cymbals provide (both live and in the studio) make the price irrelevant. If it sounds the way you want it to sound, price doesn't matter. These are great cymbals and can provide you with that certain sense of flare you may be so determinably seeking!
