Sabian NP2016ND Paragon 20 Inch Diamond China Cymbal

The Sabian NP2016ND Paragon 20 Inch Diamond China Cymbal represents a groundbreaking fusion of traditional Chinese cymbal design with cutting–edge innovation, specifically crafted for RUSH’s legendary drummer Neil Peart. This highly responsive 20" instrument features a distinctive wide–flanged edge enhanced with industrial cotter pins, each securing four jingles that create an extraordinary sizzle effect.

The innovative design positions jingles within the shallow section of the flange, allowing them to vibrate against both the bow and edge for maximum sonic impact. Additional single rivets placed between each jingle placement further amplify the sizzle characteristics, resulting in a truly unique Chinese cymbal that pushes the boundaries of conventional design.

Handcrafted from pure Sabian B2 bronze, the Paragon series combines subtle aesthetics with powerful, dynamic sound capabilities. The manufacturing process incorporates AA style hammering alongside an innovative blend of sound–defining features drawn from the AA, AAX, and HH series, creating cymbals that establish a new relationship between power and musicality while maintaining exceptional durability and versatility across diverse musical applications.
