This stick is perfect for those lines using matched grip. the length is perfect for carriers & strap/leg rest use as the distance to the drum is usually too close for proper arm placement with most sticks. The bead shape is forgiving of younger players who do not always have good control of stick angle. The oak variant is heavier which enhances the fundamental pitch of the drum while the durability of oak saves money in the long run

This stick is very balanced and feels great in the hand. It has a unique tip and sounds great when you strike a pad or drum.
