Sabian 10" Paragon Splash Brilliant Finish

The 10" Paragon Splash delivers fast, punchy responses with a glassy yet direct character that cuts through dense mixes without sacrificing control. Designed in collaboration with legendary RUSH drummer Neil Peart, this compact splash combines surprising power with articulate high-end clarity. Its lightweight, responsive feel makes it equally at home in rock applications or as a versatile accent cymbal across multiple genres.

Tone & Responsiveness

Built from pure SABIAN B20 bronze using AA-style hammering, the Paragon produces dynamic, cutting tones with excellent articulation. The thin gauge construction enables quick attack and decay, while the brilliant finish adds bright shimmer and projection that punches through without sacrificing musicality or control.

Craftsmanship & Design

This cymbal represents SABIAN's approach of combining sound-defining features from the AA, AAX, and HH series to achieve a new balance between power and responsiveness. The 224-gram weight at 10" diameter creates a highly durable instrument that remains sensitive to nuanced playing dynamics across a broad range of playing styles.
