Product Information

Taper guide: Short-tapered sticks have a stiffer feel and are more durable, while long, more narrowly tapered sticks are more fragile and flexible with a more delicate sound.

Although they are cheaper than the premium line don't be fooled - they're tough, feel great and are positively affordable! The wood tips also have a tendency to chip, so they may not be intact at the end of a 50-minute set. With bold designs, the Classics are turned from select hickory — a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Maple is another popular choice, offering a lighter, quicker option with more ‘flex’, whilst still being very tough.
