American Sound® Hickory Drumsticks The new American Sound® drumsticks are a take off on the most popular American Classic® models, featuring the shaft and neck specifications of the 7A, 8D, and 5A, 5B, 2B and ROCK, but with a full round tip. This tip change creates a completely different sound for each model, bringing increased focus and clarity to the drums and cymbals. This line furthers the effort to offer drummers the ability to change their sound and color without sacrificing feel and balance.
i have been playing with these sticks since about last year and they are by far the best reacting pair of sticks i have ever used. they are usually very well pitch paired and balanced.
