Detail 04
Thin diameter
Lighter in the hand for fast cascara patterns, but wears faster on rim work than a thicker stick.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one stick or a pair?
A pair.
02Can I use these on a drum set?
You can, but they have no tip taper, so cymbals sound blunt and articulation suffers. They're built for timbales.
03How long are they?
16.5 inches.
04Why are timbale sticks straight with no tip?
Timbale playing centers on shells, rims and cowbells rather than cymbal definition, so a uniform dowel gives a consistent crack anywhere on the stick.
