Sabian 20" Paragon Crash Cymbal

The Sabian 20" Paragon Crash delivers a responsive, articulate feel under the stick with a medium weight that balances control and projection. This cymbal cuts through a mix with commanding presence while maintaining musical sensitivity across dynamic ranges. Built for drummers who need definition without sacrificing warmth, the Paragon series combines decades of Sabian cymbal engineering into a modern workhorse crash.

Tone & Projection

The medium-thin profile produces a cutting, silvery tone with medium decay time—ideal for styles requiring clarity and presence without excessive wash. The large, volume-boosting bell amplifies projection and adds dimensional punch to crash accents, making this cymbal effective in both live and studio settings.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted B20 bronze delivers the harmonic complexity and durability that define professional-grade cymbals. AA-style hammering incorporates sound-defining features from the AA, AAX, and HH series, resulting in a cymbal with tonal depth and focused stick response.
