SABIAN 15" Paragon Hat Top

The Paragon Hat Top delivers fast, crisp responses with the clean articulation characteristic of a professional-grade medium-weight hi-hat cymbal.

The Paragon series bridges power and musicality, offering dynamic responsiveness suitable for a wide range of playing styles and studio or live applications.
