SABIAN STRATUS PERFORMANCE SET

SABIAN STRATUS PERFORMANCE SET

The STRATUS Performance Set delivers articulate, controlled response across all three cymbals with a warm, semi-dark character that cuts through without harshness. This three-piece configuration balances crisp attack with musical sustain, making it ideal for tracking across contemporary genres. The cymbals sit naturally in the mix with excellent clarity and defined tone, ensuring your drum tracks maintain definition in layered productions.

Cymbal Specifications & Tone

Each cymbal in this set is crafted from B20 bronze—an 80% copper and 20% tin composition—which produces a rich, full-bodied sound with wide dynamic range and excellent sustain. The 15" hi-hats feature medium light top and medium heavy bottom weights, delivering crisp articulate attack with warm, semi-dark spread ideal for tight pocket control. The 19" crash is quick and controlled with a lower tone and explosive attack, cutting through dense arrangements without muddiness, while the 22" ride offers articulate response with warm undertone, controlled wash, and a strong clear bell for defined ride articulation and interlocking patterns.

Construction & Design

All three cymbals benefit from high impact hammering, a hand-crafted technique that enhances the responsive, balanced character of the B20 bronze. This construction approach ensures each cymbal maintains its articulate definition while contributing to the cohesive, warm overall voice of the set—critical for consistent tracking and mix-ready recordings.
