  • Never seen this one before!  A Brilliant Prototype Paragon with Factory HH ball peen style hand hammering!  Don’t spend $434 on a regular-ass big box store Paragon!
  • Like a Peart Prototype! Who knows? That’s the vibe. 
  • This is one of the nicest, most complex sounding Chinas you will come across - and it’s a unique Prototype! The only one I have ever seen like this. 
  • And this particular Prototype 19” is ONLY 1246 grams. 

  • Don’t go $434 deep on a big box store photo and a guess at what it sounds like!  It’s a lot more fun to play something unique. 

  • This 19" Paragon has several unique characteristics that give it its trashy, sinister voice and make it stand out from the lot of Chinas. First of all, the lip on this cymbal is a giant 4". That's really damn big. Especially since it's a 19". And that makes for a hearty sweet spot. It's much thinner than most chinas and the edges are easily bendable. The weight is a THIN 1246 grams. 

  • The bell is small. And the profile is unique-check out the picture. Almost exaggerated. And it's a 19", which is not a common size for a china.

  • Now, being a Prototype model, it has a Brilliant Finish and additional factory HH Hand Hammering. 

  • What struck me most about this 19" fat lipped china Prototype, is that it's certainly not limited to Rush fans. The dark, organic, trashy tone and exceptional responsiveness make it a perfect china/swish/ride for jazz and blues. It sounds like what a china SHOULD sound like-an effect, an accent, a punctuation, or a mood setter.

  • No issues. Overall clean. Strong gold logos. Factory “Prototype” logos.  Artist writing underneath the bell.

  • A stunning One-Off Sabian that is Hand Hammered, sounds anmazing  and is collectible.
