Overview

A drummer who wants extra grip without taping the shaft gets a cut-in design on this Danny Carey signature stick. The nylon tip brightens cymbals and adds durability, and the shaft is tapered USA hickory.

The one-of-a-kind cut-in section is the reason to choose it, adding grip and comfort in the hand. Balance comes from the taper. Dimensions and weight are missing, so size has to be checked before ordering.

Who it's for

Players who like an unusual grip and a crisp cymbal sound. Those who prefer a classic round shaft, or who need published dimensions, should choose a conventional model.

Performance notes

The cut-in section gives the fingers a defined resting spot, which adds grip without gripping harder. A tapered shaft sets the balance, and the nylon tip hits cymbals with a harder surface for a brighter sound and longer tip life.
