SABIAN 15" STRATUS HI HAT TOP

The SABIAN 15" Stratus Hi Hat Top delivers crisp articulation with a responsive feel that sits perfectly in a tight hi-hat pair. This medium-light top cymbal cuts through the mix with clarity while maintaining warm undertones, making it an excellent choice for drummers who value definition without harshness. The quick stick response and easy articulation across all dynamic ranges reward both controlled ghost notes and full-force hits.

Cymbal Character & Tonality

Built from B-20 Bronze with traditional finish, this cymbal produces a clear response with warm fundamental tone that balances brightness with musicality. The high-impact hammered construction adds complexity and nuance to each articulation, preventing the sound from becoming brittle or one-dimensional.

Build & Construction

The medium-light weight specification for the top cymbal ensures quick response and easy stick articulation without sacrificing durability. This weight classification pairs traditionally with a heavier bottom cymbal to create a well-balanced, controlled hi-hat configuration suited to both studio and live environments.
