The Sabian Paragon 22'' Ride, Steampunk Edition is a versatile ride cymbal that blends well with most popular genres of music. The general tone produced by the Paragon ride is bright and resonant, but provides a balanced sound that compliments the overall drum mix.The extra heaviness of the Sabian Paragon 22'' Ride ensures huge stick projection and focused dynamic clarity, perfect for heavy rock and other hard-hitting styles.
The Paragon Series was designed directly with and for Neil Peart of Rush. The initial mock-up cymbals were created under Peart's ideas and instructions, with each concept being tested to his perfection at the factory they were made in the same day. The cymbal was cast, hammered and then tested by Peart. If he decided it wasn't completely perfect, he sent it back to be changed under his instructions. This is where the features of previous series' were used on the cymbals. Sabian took the best of their hand craftsmanship to create the perfect cymbal for Peart. Combining the pin-point lathing used throughout the AAX series on the top of the cymbal, the extensively hand-hammered bows and cups and the classic Turkish-style coarse lathing on the bottom.
