Paul's stick is constructed of heartwood hickory for increased durability. The FS-PR features a long taper and a larger diameter teardrop shaped bead creating a quick rebound and response, while still creating a full tone quality. The FS-PR is an excellent alternative in size and feel to the FS-1 and FS-BK, and a great addition to our Field Series marching snare drumstick line.
