SABIANNeil Peart Paragon Ride Cymbal 22 in.
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
22-inch Paragon ride, Neil Peart's signature line. Bright, cutting stick definition with a strong bell — built for loud rock kits that need the ride heard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock and prog drummers who lose thinner rides in the mix
- Players who ride the bell as a rhythmic voice, not an accent
- Big kits where a 20-inch ride sounds undersized
- Live stages without close-miking on every cymbal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and low-volume gigs — too much cut and sustain
- Drummers wanting a dark, dry, washy ride
- Anyone needing a light cymbal for fast crash-riding
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Ride cymbal
Meant to be played continuously for time. Stick definition and bell response matter more than crash character here.
Detail 03
Signature model
Voiced for one player's sound rather than as a neutral all-rounder. Strong personality — it will shape your kit, not blend in.
Detail 04
Price around $545
Professional-tier pricing. A single cymbal at this level costs more than many entry-level cymbal packs.
Detail 05
SABIAN
Standard cymbal mounting, so it fits any conventional ride stand with a sleeve and felts.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cymbal only — no stand, sleeve, felts or wing nut included
- 02A 22-inch ride needs real space; check clearance over your floor tom
- 03Always play it on an intact plastic sleeve to protect the bell hole
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a crash?
You can crash the edge, but at 22 inches it responds slowly and washes long. It works best as a ride with occasional edge accents.
02Is 22 inches too big for a small kit?
It can crowd a compact setup and needs a sturdy stand. Measure the space between your hi-hat and floor tom before committing.
03Will this cut through loud guitars?
Yes. It is built for volume, with a pronounced bell and strong stick attack that stays audible against amplified bands.
04Do I need a special stand?
Any standard straight or boom cymbal stand works, but use a solid boom — a 22-inch cymbal is heavy and will droop on a flimsy arm.
