SABIAN 13″ Paragon Hat Top

The SABIAN 13″ Paragon Hat Top delivers crisp, articulate response with a medium weight that balances responsiveness and projection. This cymbal excels in cut and clarity, punching through dense mixes without muddying your session recordings or live playback. The bright, defined character cuts through dense mixes without sacrificing musicality, making it an essential tool for capturing tight, defined hi-hat articulation across rock, funk, and fusion productions.

Tone & Character

Built from B20 bronze alloy, this cymbal produces the warm, complex sustain that defines professional-grade cymbals. The medium weight provides excellent stick definition while maintaining enough mass for controlled, focused projection—critical for recording sessions where clarity and separation are paramount in the mix.

Construction & Finish

Uniform machine hammering ensures consistent response across the playing surface, while the brilliant finish contributes to the cymbal’s bright, cutting voice. Designed as the top component in a medium-top/heavy-bottom hi-hat pairing, this cymbal is engineered to work in tandem with a heavier bottom for optimal feel, sound, and studio-ready tonality.
