Sabian S12CS 12" Stratus Cirro Cymbal Stax

The Sabian S12CS 12" Stratus Cirro Cymbal Stax brings dual-cymbal configuration with adjustable tension control to modern drum setups. The 12" top cymbal combines a raw front surface with a lathed back, creating reduced tension and a loose, wavy structure that flexes under stick impact. B20 bronze construction delivers bright-mid timbral response across general and loud volume settings, while the flat, raw 12" bottom cymbal acts as either a fixed resonator or independent sizzle generator. Tension adjustment between the two 12" surfaces changes the attack profile significantly. Tightened down, the stack produces short, focused stick response with minimal sustain. Loosened off, the cymbals interact with pronounced sizzle and metallic shimmer. The top cymbal also functions as a standalone effect piece, producing a phaser-style modulation when struck independently. The raw front finish on the top cymbal contrasts with its lathed back surface, a design choice that promotes the flexible, responsive feel Sabian developed for the Stratus line.
