Sabian Paragon Crashes. With powerful highs and a warm, musical mid-range, this model is explosive and musical, yet controllable at any volume. Developed with Neil Peart of Rush, the Paragon series blends 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.
