Innovative PercussionJim Riley Hickory Balance Point Drum Sticks
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around visual reference points, the Jim Riley BP-1 gives drummers a clear way to locate its balance point and intended hand position. Its Fulcrum Indicator marks the area described as providing the greatest rebound, while the double-circle mark at the butt end identifies the grip location. A quick taper adds lively rebound and response, and the teardrop bead is voiced for a bright sound. The stick uses 5B sizing and is positioned as an educational tool as well as a touring-ready option.

Who this is for
