SABIAN PARAGON NEIL PEART
CYMBALS BOX SET £???? They say: Deliver full, musical responses across a wide volume spectrum. For: Drummers Range: Sabian Paragon cymbals Spec: Set contains 11 cymbals (also available individually): 16 (x2), 18 & 20-inch crash, 13 & 14-inch hi-hats, 22-inch ride, eight & ten-inch splash, 19 & 20-inch chinese. Shipos with flight case. Neil Peart first developed these with Sabian in the late 1990s/early 2000s. These were originally a natural (matt) finish cymbal set, but now they have been updated to offer a brilliant (shiny) finish. Made in collaboration with Rush’s drummer, Paragon is a range of cymbals that – although designed for Peart''s hard hitting, high powered style – delivers full, musical responses across a wide volume spectrum.
This complete set of cymbals in their included flight case weigh in at 32kg, or around 5 stone. A hefty set indeed.
On opening the heavy duty case these new brilliant finish Paragons greet you with an immaculate, shiny surface with the golden B20 bronze looking as good as any cymbal you will ever see. All models show the Sabian and Paragon logos in a subtle and classy earthy golden colour. The various models have their own patterns of hammering and lathing. The range is medium to heavy weight and well proportioned as a cymbal range and very professional looking. From:Westside 0141 248 4812
