Overview
A medium taper and a full round tip shape the Corpsmaster MS5, a hickory snare stick tuned for the colors available on Kevlar heads. The finish is painted, and the listing counts one stick.
Enhanced tonal color on Kevlar heads is the reason to look at it. The listing is thin: no sound profile and an incorrect item type reading accordion accessory. Size comes from the title and item dimensions.
Who it's for
Snare specialists on Kevlar heads who want a long, rounded-tip stick. Players on standard heads, or anyone who needs a described sound profile, should consider other models.
Pros and cons
- Full round tip
- Suited to Kevlar heads
- Item type entry reads accordion accessory
- Painted finish may feel slick
Performance notes
The medium taper sets the balance, and the full round tip gives an even contact area, which the description says brings out the colors possible on Kevlar heads. Hickory is the only shaft material listed. A painted finish changes the feel in the hand compared with bare wood.
