With a diameter between a 5A and 5B, this stick will feel instantly comfortable for any number of musical applications. The longer taper offers an impressive balance and just enough response to ensure the stick isn't getting in your way. The modified barrel tip offers great response and a focused yet slightly darker cymbal sound.
