Description
SABIAN 10" Stratus Splash
The 10" Stratus Splash is engineered to move quickly in and out of the mix with a thin profile that responds immediately to stick articulation. Its large bell size delivers increased volume potential relative to typical splash cymbals, while the STRATUS high impact hammering reduces sustain for clean, defined cut-through in a band context. This cymbal combines clear articulation with a warm wash and musical spread, making it a versatile addition to any cymbal setup.
Sonic Character & Design
Built from B20 bronze, this splash produces a bright-mid timbre with soft volume and exhibits fast decay, allowing it to punctuate without lingering. The high impact hammering technique reduces sustain deliberately, ensuring the cymbal cuts through densely layered music without washing out the mix.
Build & Durability
The thin profile construction makes this splash responsive and lightweight while maintaining structural integrity. SABIAN backs this cymbal with a limited 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects, reflecting confidence in the build quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this splash too small or quiet for stage use?
No—the 10" diameter includes a large bell size that delivers increased volume potential relative to typical splash cymbals, and the thin profile responds immediately to stick articulation, making it suitable for live performance in band contexts. The bright-mid timbre and high-impact hammering ensure it cuts through without requiring excessive volume.
Will this cymbal sustain too long and muddy my mix?
The STRATUS high-impact hammering technique reduces sustain deliberately for clean, defined cut-through in layered music. Fast decay and soft volume allow the splash to punctuate without lingering, making it ideal for tight, articulate playing in rock and metal settings.
What genres work best with this splash?
The Stratus Splash is engineered for rock, metal, hard rock, and progressive music. Its articulate cut-through and warm wash make it less suitable for jazz or folk settings, where longer, more open splash tones are typically preferred.
What material and construction method are used?
The cymbal is crafted from B20 bronze with a thin profile and SABIAN's STRATUS high-impact hammering technique, which reduces sustain and increases response speed. This combination delivers bright-mid timbre with clear articulation and a warm, musical spread.
What comes with a warranty?
SABIAN backs the 10" Stratus Splash with a limited 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects, reflecting confidence in the build quality and structural integrity of the thin-profile design.
