Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a 5A or 5B?
It's a signature profile, not a numbered size. Feel is its own thing — compare it against a stick you already own.
02Wood tip or nylon?
This pair is wood. Expect a warmer, less pingy cymbal sound than nylon, and a tip that rounds off with use.
03Does this come as a pair?
Yes, one matched pair.
04Will these work for rock?
Yes, though wood tips give less cymbal cut than nylon and wear faster under heavy rimshot playing.
