Innovative PercussionChristopher Lamb Signature Snare Drum Sticks Cl1 (Maple)
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Maple concert snare stick, 16 15/16 inches, .660 diameter. For orchestral percussionists who want a lighter stick with a controlled rebound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert and orchestral snare parts needing quiet control
- Percussionists playing extended soft rolls
- Players who find hickory concert sticks too heavy
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — maple will not survive rim and cymbal work
- Marching snare lines needing durability and volume
- Anyone wanting a general-purpose all-around stick
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
.660 inch diameter
Thick for a concert stick. The width adds mass back that the light maple gives up, so it still moves air.
Detail 03
Long taper
More flex toward the tip. Rebound comes back easier, which helps sustained soft rolls.
Detail 04
Bulleted barrel bead
Broad contact patch on the head. Gives a fuller, rounder sound than a small round tip.
Detail 05
16 15/16 inch length
Just under 17 inches. Slightly shorter reach than the CL2 in the same signature line.
Final check
Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between CL1 and CL2?
CL1 is maple, 16 15/16 inches, .660 diameter, long taper, bulleted barrel bead. CL2 is hickory, 17 inches, .645 diameter, extra long taper, elongated oval bead.
02Can I use these on a drum kit?
Not recommended. Maple is soft, and rim shots or cymbal edge strikes will chew through these quickly. Hickory holds up far better on kit.
03Are these too heavy for soft playing?
No. The .660 diameter looks thick, but maple is a light wood, so overall weight stays low. That combination is what makes them work for quiet concert rolls.
04Do they come as a pair?
Drum sticks are normally sold as a matched pair. Verify the quantity at checkout before ordering.
