Crafted from select, premium American hickory, this stick is sorted into a heavy weight classification to provide maximum structural density and long-lasting durability. It delivers the crushing impact and power necessary to cut through dense, high-volume guitar walls without sacrificing the subtle rebound needed for intricate, high-speed fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBalanced Dimensions for Fluid Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a substantial 0.610” diameter and a standard 16” length, this stick offers a full-bodied, command-ready grip underfoot and in hand.
