They are particularly suited for styles alternating power and finesse: rock, pop, funk, variety, and general studio or rehearsal playing.Features and InnovationsThe distinctive feature of this series lies in its exclusive varnishing process, designed to enhance the wood grain and provide a refined "natural wood" finish. The choice of a medium neck promotes a good balance between control and rebound, while the teardrop tip allows easy transition from articulated cymbal playing to solid hits on the snare and toms.Sound CharacteristicsHickory is a benchmark for drumsticks due to its very balanced behavior: it offers a solid feel while remaining sufficiently "alive" under the fingers. Its main advantage is helping to absorb some of the vibrations, which improves comfort during long sessions and enhances the sense of control.The wooden teardrop tip contributes to a clear and versatile attack: you get good definition on cymbals (hi-hat, ride) and precise response on drums. This shape is particularly appreciated when seeking a balance between a clear sound and easily controlled dynamics.Technical SpecificationsType and CompatibilityCategory: drumstickInstrument: drumsSize: 5AMaterialsMaterial: hickoryTip: teardropTip material: woodErgonomics and DimensionsNeck: mediumLength: 40.64 cmDiameter: 1.44 cmFinishColor: natural wood
