Sabian Paragon Chinese Cymbal 20" Brilliant

Sabian Paragon Chinese Cymbal 20" Brilliant – Dark, Responsive Percussion

The Sabian Paragon Chinese 20" Brilliant delivers the dark, aggressive sound that professional drummers demand. Handcrafted from pure B20 bronze, this cymbal combines traditional Chinese design with innovative sound-shaping technology. Its compact bell, steeply angled bow, and wide flanged lip create exceptional sensitivity—responsive enough to activate with minimal strike force, yet capable of building to a powerful roar. The result is a dirty, complex tone perfect for players seeking dynamic range and tonal depth in their cymbal selection.

Engineered using AA-style hammering and a hybrid approach drawing from SABIAN's AA, AAX, and HH series, the Paragon Chinese balances raw power with musical expressiveness. This cymbal excels across diverse playing styles and applications, offering the durability and responsiveness that working musicians require.
