'''Review:''' "Considering that Neil Peart has played authentic Chinese-made China cymbals for many years, it's not surprising (although it is impressive) that the 20" Paragon China has a very traditional China sound, with a dry, direct tone and a piercing attack. It has a much smaller lip than that of the 19" China, which gives the 20" China more articulation and less sustain. The 19" China, on the other hand, is a trashy, dark cymbal with a very wide lip. The large hammered edges spread the sound with a warm, quick attack and a sweet, sustaining decay. These two cymbals compliment each other well, offering a wide spectrum of aggressive sounds." <br> | '''Review:''' "Considering that Neil Peart has played authentic Chinese-made China cymbals for many years, it's not surprising (although it is impressive) that the 20" Paragon China has a very traditional China sound, with a dry, direct tone and a piercing attack.
