14″ Stratus Dry Hat Bottom
This is the bottom cymbal only from Sabian’s 14″ Stratus Dry Hi-Hats—factory fresh and ready to pair with the matching top or integrate into a custom hi-hat setup. Sabian manufactures these pieces individually, allowing engineers and producers to replace a worn cymbal or build their own combination without purchasing an entire new set. The medium-light weight bottom delivers the tight, articulate response that defines the Stratus Dry character, cutting through dense mixes with clarity.
Cymbal Construction & Tone Character
Premium B20 bronze with STRATUS high-impact hammering produces clear articulation, warm wash, and controlled musical spread across the 14″ diameter. The medium-light weight classification ensures crisp stick definition and quick response when closed, while maintaining body and presence in open positions—ideal for capturing natural drum recordings and maintaining definition during overdubs and layering.
Studio Pairing & Session Flexibility
Pair this bottom with the matching 14″ Stratus Dry top (SD1402-1) to complete a standard hi-hat setup, or purchase the full pair (SD1402) for a complete set. Individual cymbal replacement allows you to refresh worn pieces or experiment with custom top/bottom combinations without full set replacement, adapting your kit’s voice to different session requirements and production styles.
