3-piece Cymbal Set with Stratus-style Heavy Hammering

Sabian’s Stratus series cymbals offer the modern drummer a clear, articulate B20 bronze solution for delivering rhythms with a lasting impact and stunning good looks. Courtesy of an extra-heavy hammering protocol, Sabian forges each Stratus cymbal to execute a professional-grade wash of warmth and clarity with the performance versatility to thrive in virtually any musical setting. The pair of 15-inch Stratus hi-hats create a crisp and articulate attack and response for incredibly precise patterning. The thin 19-inch crash provides a high-energy voice that lingers just long enough to make a statement without overstaying its welcome. Finally, the 22-inch Stratus ride cymbal provides ideal support, with a warm undertone-laden wash and a bell that cuts at all dynamic levels. From precision tracking of your kit in a studio setting to sounding your very best on the drum riser, drummers at Sweetwater champion Sabian’s Stratus series a dependable bronze go-to!

Reviews

Perfect balance
I'm not a church drummer but a church sound guy. That said, these sound like a great balance between bright and dark, not too far in either direction. The 15" hats have body, the crash could be function as a halfway decent ride and the ride doubles as a great 2nd crash. As someone who finds bright cymbals to be a bit too harsh at times, these are a perfect middle ground at a great price.

They're also beautiful, but that's just a bonus.
Outstanding
I'm a Zildjian guy (since 1969) and since Mr Robert Zildjian founded Sabian, I figured "How can I go wrong?" I have no idea why I've waited so long (20 yrs), but I finally took the plunge. I prefer 15" hats, and these are incredible. The 19" crash is so full-bodied ( it's like a chorus of cymbals all at once), and the 22" ride has a wash that hits you like a tsunami. This will be great for Pink Floyd songs. I'm looking forward to adding a 17" crash. Sabian's Status line is glorious!

They sound so amazing!!!
So number one they sound so good for the price and they feel great under the stick. Note I was originally going to buy used AA and HH cymbals but these won me over.
