SABIAN 14" Paragon Hat Top Brilliant Finish

The Paragon Hat Top cuts through the mix with fast, crisp responses and clean, bright sticking that rewards precise technique. Handcrafted from pure SABIAN B20 bronze, this medium-weight cymbal was designed in collaboration with legendary RUSH drummer Neil Peart and combines the best sonic characteristics of SABIAN's AA, AAX, and HH series. The brilliant finish enhances clarity while the AA-style hammering provides dynamic responsiveness across a wide range of playing dynamics.

The B20 bronze composition ensures durability and consistency, delivering a top cymbal that holds its character through relentless gigging and studio sessions without compromising responsiveness or tonal integrity.

Sonic Character
