PROS
- • B-20 bronze provides a warm, complex, and musical fundamental tone.
- • Hammering creates a responsive, lively feel with excellent stick definition.
- • Medium-light top allows for crisp, clean chick sounds and quick footwork.
- • Medium-heavy bottom delivers a solid, controlled low-end response and body.
CONS
- • The traditional finish might require more frequent cleaning to maintain its luster.
- • While versatile, they may lack the extreme sizzle of some modern hi-hats.
- • The B-20 alloy, while excellent, isn't the premium investment of a pure B-22.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Stratus are significantly warmer and more vintage-sounding, lacking the bright, modern sheen of the AAX series. They're a different sonic palette altogether.
The medium-heavy bottom provides enough weight to handle a strong attack, but they're designed for a more nuanced playing style; aggressive hitters might find them a bit subdued.
They record beautifully – the warm, complex tone sits very well in a mix and avoids harshness, making them a very versatile recording option.
