Description

Compact, articulate and dynamically responsive, the Sabian 14″ Stratus Dry Hi Hats deliver a tight, higher pitched voice with a dark, modern edge. Designed for players who need clarity and control without sacrificing character, they offer a crisp foot chick, effortless stick definition and a fast, musical response that excels in contemporary styles. A light top cymbal paired with a medium light bottom keeps the feel nimble and controlled, so intricate patterns, tight grooves and detailed ghost notes all speak clearly at any dynamic. The dry, defined tone sits perfectly in the mix, giving you the precision you need on stage or in the studio while still sounding warm and musical under the sticks and feet. Modern Dry Tone With Dark Character The Stratus Dry Hi Hats take the modern dry sound and infuse it with a darker, more complex character. This gives you a focused, controlled voice that still feels rich and musical, ideal if you want definition and articulation without harshness. The result is a pair of hats that cut through the band while blending smoothly with guitars, keys and bass. Tight, Higher Pitched Voice With a slightly higher pitch and compact feel, these 14″ hats deliver a tight, focused sound that keeps busy grooves clean and articulate. The controlled top end helps every note speak clearly, making them a great choice for players who need precision in funk, pop, fusion and modern rock settings. Light Top, Medium Light Bottom The combination of a light top and medium light bottom cymbal keeps the response quick and controlled. This pairing gives you a sensitive feel under the sticks, fast opening and closing, and a consistent, musical tone whether you are playing soft, intricate patterns or digging in for more aggressive accents. Crisp Foot Chick And Fast Response The Stratus Dry Hi Hats offer a crisp, defined foot chick that locks in with the kick drum and bass, helping you anchor the groove with confidence. The fast, responsive feel makes it easy to execute rapid openings, tight barks and detailed foot work, giving you the control you need for modern, nuanced playing. Key Features Modern Dry Hi Hat Sound – A contemporary dry tonality with a dark, defined character that delivers clarity without sounding brittle, perfect for cutting through the mix while remaining musical. Tighter, Higher Pitched Voice – The compact, higher pitched sound keeps grooves focused and articulate, helping every note stay clear in dense arrangements and fast patterns. Light Top And Medium Light Bottom – The carefully balanced weight pairing provides a quick, controlled response, giving you sensitivity at low volumes and stability when you push harder. Crisp Foot Chick And Effortless Articulation – A precise, clean foot chick and fast stick response make intricate grooves, ghost notes and detailed hi hat work feel natural and easy to execute.

Sabian

Sabian is one of the world’s leading cymbal manufacturers, known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian after the famous split in the Zildjian family, Sabian quickly established itself as a major force in cymbal design. Based in Canada, the brand built its reputation by working closely with drummers and constantly evolving its sound, rather than sticking rigidly to tradition.

Sabian cymbals are known for their versatility, offering everything from bright, cutting models for rock and metal to darker, more complex tones suited to jazz and studio work. Popular ranges include AA, AAX, HH, and HHX, each designed to deliver different tonal characteristics, from modern projection to vintage warmth. Sabian also produces a wide variety of effects cymbals, splash cymbals, chinas, and stacks, allowing drummers to expand their sound and create unique textures.

What Sabian does particularly well is giving drummers choice and control. Their cymbals respond consistently, project clearly, and sit well in a mix, whether live or in the studio. For drummers looking to shape their own sound with a wide palette of tones and modern design, Sabian remains one of the most flexible and forward-thinking cymbal brands available.

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.

Hi-Hats

Hi-hats use a pair of cymbals operated by a foot pedal for timekeeping, accents and changing degrees of openness. Compare diameter, top and bottom weights, profile, edge response, chick sound, stick definition and how quickly the cymbals open and close. Some listings are a matched pair, while others describe an individual top or bottom cymbal. Check the wording carefully and remember that a hi-hat stand, clutch, felts and accessories may not be included. The right pair should complement the drummer’s touch, volume and musical style.
