Designed for drummers playing in diverse bands and multiple situations with a wide range of musical styles and genres. The unique tip starts as an acorn shape, which is trimmed down to the classic barrel size for a hybrid design that produces a dark and smooth articulation on cymbals. Additional length and long taper gives this stick a quick response with greater rebound for fast chops and deep grooves. Overall, we think drummers need consistency in their sticks, which is why we developed a very narrow weight range and density for each model. Whenever you pick up your favorite pair, they will always feel the same.
