{"product_id":"15-stratus-hi-hats","title":"Sabian Stratus 15\" Hi-Hat Cymbals","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA 15\" Pair That Plays Bigger Than It Looks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something satisfying about a well-matched pair of hi-hats that responds exactly how you want — crisp when you need it tight, open and airy when you let them breathe. The Sabian Stratus 15\" Hi-Hat Cymbals are built around that idea. At 15 inches, they bring a little extra depth and authority compared to the more common 14\" size, without losing that quick, articulate feel that keeps grooves feeling tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stratus series was designed for the modern drummer, and these hats reflect that goal with a warm, semi-dark character that works across a wide range of playing styles and musical settings. Whether you're locking in a straight-ahead groove or pushing through a loud stage mix, the 15\" Stratus hats hold their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been looking for a pair of hats with a little more body and spread than the standard 14\" — but still want that crisp, responsive feel — this is a pair worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eB20 Bronze Construction and High-Impact Hammering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSabian crafted the Stratus series from B20 bronze, the same alloy used across many of their higher-end lines. B20 is a tin-rich bronze alloy known for producing a warm, complex tone with plenty of harmonic detail. Pair that material with Sabian's proprietary STRATUS high-impact hammering technique, and you get a cymbal that delivers clear articulation alongside a warm wash and musical spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hammering process shapes the surface of the cymbal in a way that controls how it resonates — adding character without muddying the attack. The result is a series that sounds polished and purposeful without feeling sterile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMedium-Light Top, Medium-Heavy Bottom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight combination on these hats is one of their defining characteristics. The medium-light top allows for quick response and a light, sensitive feel under the stick — great for playing dynamically or at faster tempos. The medium-heavy bottom gives the pair its foundation, producing that solid \"chick\" sound when the pedal snaps them shut and adding body to the overall spread when they're opened up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, this pairing delivers an articulate attack with a warm semi-dark spread. You get crisp, clear stick definition without the harshness that can come from heavier tops, and the airy quality of the spread keeps the sound musical rather than just loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e B20 bronze alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHammering:\u003c\/strong\u003e STRATUS high-impact hammering technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTonal character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Articulate attack with warm semi-dark spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sabian Stratus — designed for the modern drummer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e S1502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sabian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stratus 15\" Hi-Hat Cymbals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e S1502\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
