Modifications for movement and sound
Drummers will appreciate how the shaping process of these sticks actually works to produce a more comfortable, ergonomic feel between your fingers. At 16 inches long and with a diameter of 0.580 inches, they sit snuggly between 5A and 5B sizes, essentially creating a bridge for players of all stripes. Sweetwater timekeepers are impressed by this stick's longer taper that facilitates a more focused balance, yielding an accurate and responsive sound with every strike. To top it off, these sticks achieve a focused and darker cymbal sound with the NE1's modified barrel tip. You simply can't go wrong with this Mike Johnston offering from Vic Firth!
