Sabian 14" Paragon Hi-Hats

Sabian 14" Paragon Hi-Hats

The Sabian Paragon Hi-Hats deliver a responsive, articulate feel that rewards both tight control and open dynamics. This medium-weight pairing sits comfortably in the sweet spot between definition and sustain, making them responsive enough for intricate foot work while maintaining the projection needed in a full drum kit. The combination of different lathe patterns creates a tonal character that bridges traditional and contemporary cymbal voices.

Construction & Materials

Built from pure SABIAN B20 bronze, these cymbals employ AA-style hammering with sound-defining features drawn from the AA, AAX, and HH series lineups. The top cymbal features pinpoint lathing that creates a narrower groove for fast, lively response, while the bottom cymbal uses traditional AA lathing with a wider groove that contributes fuller, richer tonal character to the pair.

Sonic Character

Expect clean, bright, high-definition stick articulation that cuts through in both studio and live settings. The pair delivers fast, crisp response when played open, giving you quick note definition and excellent clarity for complex rhythmic passages without sacrificing the warmth that B20 bronze naturally provides.
