Sabian NP2016N Paragon 20inch China Cymbal

Forged through the relentless demands of one of rock's most iconic drummers, the Sabian NP2016N Paragon 20" China Cymbal represents the pinnacle of professional percussion craftsmanship. This exceptional instrument emerged from an intensive collaboration with Rush's legendary Neil Peart, whose aggressive, high–energy playing style demanded cymbals that could match his powerful approach without compromising musical integrity. The Paragon range stands as Sabian's premiere cymbal line, offering bold and distinctive sound design that caters to the most discerning professional musicians.

Part of Sabian's Creative Series, the Paragon line showcases the company's commitment to innovation and quality in professional cymbal manufacturing. Despite being specifically crafted for Peart's hard–hitting style, these cymbals provide remarkably full and musical responses across an extensive volume spectrum, making them versatile tools for various playing situations and musical contexts.

The superior construction of Paragon cymbals centres on their B20 bronze alloy composition, featuring 80% copper and 20% tin with traces of silver. This premium metal blend represents one of the finest bronze alloys available in cymbal manufacturing, producing instruments with exceptional hardness that maintain outstanding focus and crisp control thanks to the elevated tin content.
