A light wax finish gives smooth feel and a vintage look. Crafted from durable American hickory with a classic acorn tip, these 16" sticks produce rich, articulate tone on drums and cymbals and come in four popular sizes: 7A, 5A, 5B, and 2B. Traditional length and taper suit a wide range of styles. Made in Germany, Meinl Stick & Brush drumsticks meet premium quality standards. Each dowel is weighed and sorted before shaping—lightweight dowels become Big Apple sticks for fast ride work, while heavier dowels go into the Heavy series built for power and endurance. This process ensures consistent feel, pair after pair. Weight and pitch matched.
