Made from premium North American hard maple and crafted in Germany, these sticks are built to the highest standards and with great attention to detail. Our Concert SD4 is a medium-thin stick that works for many applications but is best suited for times when volume control is needed. A thicker shoulder gives this stick a solid feel in your hands with a great response. Barrel tip and rock maple wood complement each other by producing good articulation without overpowering cymbals. Have you found your favorite sticks to be too light or too heavy when buying a new pair? Our sticks are made with a new step: weigh and sort the raw wooden dowels into designated models before manufacturing. Lighter dowels are reserved for our 7A sticks, while heavy, dense dowels are used for models like our Heavy 2B. We know drummers demand consistency in their sticks, which is why we developed this step to ensure a very narrow weight range and density for each model. Whenever you pick up your favorite pair, they will always feel the same. Finally, every pair is weight and pitched matched.
