    For me, it was real close between 2 of them, but I wen't for the slightly darker one. Just my personal preference.

    I liked the Paiste 2002 but after hearing the Sabian Paragon, had to vote for it instead.
    Interestingly, that was the only 22 incher.

    It hurt my feelings to vote Paragon, but I did. It sounded the best of the group. You need a K Custom or Constantinople in there so I can vote and not feel like a traitor.
    Cut it large and kick it into place!

    Man, I always love A Custom cymbals, but it was my least favorite of all of your rides.........the anniversary ride sounded a lot better

    IMO, the Paragon was better than the rest..............drier than I thought it would be, but definitely better

    Did that video sound OK to everybody? When I listened to it, there was a strong pulsating quality to the sound that made all of them sound terrible. I was thinking the recorder was picking up reflections from the brick wall in back. Anybody else hear that?

    A custom anniversary was the best
    Paragon comes in second place
    A custom in third
    A series in fourth
    And the paste in last place.

    20 Zildjian A (avedis) the reason for saying that is I own and have played a 21 Sweet ride for the last 40 years and the only ride that I ever had. Had no reason to change it.

    The first two sounded like dustbin lids.
    The last one was okay and the one before that didn't completely suck.
    Sound on the video completely sucked.
    Sorry for the harsh judgment, but I just watched Deadpool.
