Description
12" Sabian Stratus Cirro Stax Bottom Cymbal
This is the bottom cymbal only from Sabian's 12" Stratus Cirro Stax stack set — sold individually so you can replace a worn piece or customize your own combination. Factory fresh and ready to pair with the matching top cymbal or integrate into an existing setup.
Sonic Character & Recording Presence
Built from B20 Bronze Alloy, the bottom cymbal features a flat, raw finish that delivers the sonic character Sabian engineered for this stack pairing. The Thin weight designation contributes to its responsiveness and cutting articulation, capturing definition in dense kit mixes and translating well across close-miked and room-mic applications.
Studio Control & Blend Options
Center wingnut tension control lets you tighten for bright, cutting patterns or loosen for sizzle effects, giving you control over the stack's frequency footprint and sustain during recording sessions. The matching top cymbal can also be played independently if needed, adding flexibility to your production palette and enabling quick sound adjustments between takes.
