Drums

A dual-zone snare drum with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, followed by 8”/8”/10” dual-zone toms and an 8” kick drum provides ample playing surface, suitable for all varieties of single and double kick drum pedals. The tension can be adjusted on all mesh heads, letting you set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference. Unnatural and unwanted ‘hotspots’ on the heads are eliminated with our unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design (U.S. Patent 9,424,827).

ARC Cymbals

Strata Core’s ARC cymbals are exceptionally sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbals – the 14” ride and two 12” crashes – are triple-zone with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal. They’re all 360-degree responsive, so that you can play anywhere throughout the cymbal and mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, which allows them to respond and swing naturally without restrictions. All cymbals have dual-edge sensors (patent pending) and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.

Hi-Hat

The 12” Active Magnetic hi-hat is a superbly playable magnetic, stand-mounted system. Like the cymbals, this triple-zone 360-degree playing surface is extremely responsive. Magnetic position sensing ensures that pedal movements are translated in high resolution, meaning the contactless system is unmatched in its accuracy. This module-powered unit can be used with a wide variety of hi-hat stands and playing techniques.

Hardware

The backbone of Strata Core is a curved steel rack where the toms, cymbals and module are mounted. Sturdy but flexible, it allows for spacious and compact footprints so you can adjust the kit to your ideal playing position for your setup. The ARC hi-hats mount to any hi-hat stand, and the 8″ kick tower can accommodate any single or double pedal configuration. Crash and ride cymbals can be mounted to standard acoustic cymbal stands and are not bound to the rack mounts.
