Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Paragon hi-hat is positioned as a performance-oriented option, designed to offer high definition and a strong presence. In the spirit of this series, the goal is to combine a modern and bright sound with a fast response, while maintaining a musical foundation thanks to a B20 alloy and hammering work.
Who This Hi-Hat Is For
This Paragon 14 in hi-hat is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced drummers seeking an expressive hi-hat capable of shifting from a very clean "chick" to a sharp open sound, without getting lost in the band. It is comfortable in styles where articulation is crucial: rock, pop, metal, fusion, and contemporary music, both in rehearsal and on stage. In a studio context, its brightness and definition help the hi-hat find its place in the spectrum, especially when guitars and synths already occupy a lot of space.
