Frequently Asked Questions

The Stratus offers a more vintage, warmer tone than the brighter, more modern AAX series. The Stratus has a more complex character, while the AAX leans toward a cleaner, more cutting sound.
While versatile, their warmer tone might not cut through as aggressively as brighter hi-hats. They’re better suited for genres where a more nuanced, musical hi-hat sound is desired.
Traditional finishes show marks and patina more readily. Regular cleaning and occasional polishing will help maintain their appearance, but some character is expected and often desired.
