Sabian SD1602 16" Stratus Dry Hats

Sabian's 16" Stratus Dry Hi-Hats bring aggressive modern character to any kit. Hand-hammered brass delivers a bold, shadowy tone with crisp, noise–laden attack that cuts through dense mixes. The oversized diameter commands presence while lightweight construction ensures quick response under stick work and fast pedal technique.

These hats thrive when struck hard. Impact triggers complex, short–decay dryness without ringing sustain–a signature trait of Sabian's Stratus series. The trash–infused articulation sits forward in a band or recording session, making them particularly effective for modern rock, metal, and hip–hop drumming where definition matters more than shimmer or wash.
