Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Paragon series is positioned as a line designed for drummers seeking an expressive and modern cymbal, capable of combining clarity and cut in amplified settings. In this logic, the 8-inch splash completes the Paragon arsenal with a short, sharp accent that is easy to place without overwhelming the sonic spectrum.
Who This Drum/Splash Is For
This splash cymbal is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers who want to enrich their set with quick and effective accents. It is particularly suitable for styles where punctuations need to remain clear and punchy: rock, pop, fusion, metal (for accents), and funk for short "hits." Its bright character also helps maintain definition on stage and during rehearsals with a band.
