The lightest of the big three woods. A thick maple stick still feels light, which suits fast, intricate playing and quiet gigs. The trade-off is that it wears out sooner.
A ball tip with a small contact patch. The striking surface is the same at any angle, so the tone stays consistent and ride patterns come out bright and clearly defined.
Founded 1888 in Markneukirchen, Germany, and still family-run in the fifth generation. It also still makes conductors' batons, and is Europe's largest stickmaker.
Practice sticks. Covers both the heavy models for building strength and stamina on a pad, and the light, short ones for beginners and kids.
