Vater Percussion Drumsticks American hickory Jazz Ride 16 inch VHJZRW inches / 40.64 cm teardrop-shaped wood tip

American Hickory: The Jazz Ride is made from North American hickory wood, a type of walnut. The material is denser, harder and heavier than maple, while also being more elastic than oak. Hickory absorbs a large part of the vibration energy generated on impact. Dimensions: The Drumstick is 16 inch / 40.64 cm long and has a diameter of 0.575 inch / 1.46 cm. This makes it slightly thicker than a 5A. The stated dimensions determine the design of the Jazz Ride model. Small teardrop-shaped tip: The tip is made of wood and has a teardrop shape. The small, fine tip is specially geared towards cymbal work and produces a clear, clean and well-defined ping sound on cymbals. Cymbal work: The construction of the Jazz Ride is designed for focused cymbal work. The small wooden tip enables precise articulation on the cymbal without causing it to swell too much. Precise manufacturing and matching: The sticks are computer-controlled turned and ground. Weight, timbre or frequency and balance are then analysed. Only correspondingly matching sticks are paired up.
