Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 5A the right size for me?
For most players, yes. 5A is the standard all-purpose size. Go 5B or 2B for a heavier stick, 7A for a lighter one.
02Does the color wrap affect grip?
It feels different from bare wood, usually a bit smoother. Some players like it, others prefer plain finish or grip tape.
03Nylon tip or wood tip?
Nylon is brighter on cymbals and lasts longer. Wood is warmer and darker. This pair is nylon.
04Will the gold color rub off?
Any wrapped stick wears at the grip and at strike points over time. Normal for the finish type.
