The Stratus is a surprisingly refined crash for its price point. It's a great option if you're looking for a darker, more vintage-flavored crash that cuts through without being overly splashy – perfect for jazz, quieter rock, or anything where you want a touch of elegance. It’s a solid, dependable cymbal that'll do a lot of work for you.
