15" STRATUS DRY HATS

SABIAN 15" Stratus Dry Hi-Hats

The 15" Stratus Dry Hi-Hats deliver a dark, crisp, and controlled response with a modern dry character that cuts through dense mixes. The light top paired with a medium-light bottom creates a low-pitched voice with exceptional articulation and definition. Deep hammering and a lightly polished raw surface produce a textured, slightly trashy quality while maintaining a short, focused sustain ideal for contemporary drumming.

Tone & Response

Built from B-20 bronze, these cymbals produce a tight, articulate feel with a lower-pitched fundamental that sits distinctly in the mix. The short and focused sustain ensures clean stick articulation without excessive ring, making them responsive to both light touch and aggressive playing dynamics.

Construction & Design

Deep oversized hammering combined with a lightly polished raw surface creates visual texture and contributes to the slightly trashy, controlled decay. The light top and medium-light bottom pairing yields a balanced response with minimal wash, delivering clarity and definition across a wide range of playing techniques.
