5A grip size. Mid range tones. Made from Sugar Maple for a lighter touch. The Cymbal Stick models, which were originally designed and handturned in the mid 1950s by Jack Adams (Alan & Ron Vater's grandfather), have been recreated. These Maple models feature the same distinct tip shapes and specifications that gave drummers of the great jazz and big band era that unforgettable cymbal sound. Same as the originals did decades earlier, each of these four models gives their own unique voice on cymbals.
