Meinl Stick & BrushSwitch Sticks 5A
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Meinl’s Switch Stick 5A combines a Hybrid 5A hickory stick with a hard-felt mallet at the butt end. Turn the stick around when a part calls for mallet sounds, then switch back without changing implements. That direct stick-to-mallet transition makes it a practical choice for performances with quick arrangement changes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Performances requiring fast changes between stick playing and hard-felt mallet passages.
