Overview
Marching through rehearsals and performances is the job of this Corpsmaster Signature Snare stick, built around an oval wood tip and a medium taper. It is hickory with a lacquer coat, tied to Colin McNutt.
Clear articulation and consistent response across all dynamic levels are the reasons to look at it. The lacquer coating is meant to take the strain of long rehearsals. The dimension and weight entries are odd, so confirm them with the seller.
Who it's for
Snare players in marching lines who need dependable response from soft passages to loud ones. Players outside that setting, or anyone who needs reliable size figures, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
