SABIAN SD1602 16" STRATUS DRY HI-HATS - 1052/1144g - FLOOR MODEL

The Sabian SD1602 16" Stratus Dry Hi-Hats deliver a bold, modern voice with oversized presence, dark tonality, and exceptional musical texture. Designed for drummers seeking a larger and more aggressive hi-hat sound, these cymbals combine a wide sonic footprint with an ultra-crispy, trash-infused attack that cuts through contemporary mixes while maintaining impressive control.
