A hard, heavy European hardwood. Harder than hickory, so even a slim diameter puts out real volume. Germany's Rohema builds much of its range from it.
For marching bands. Built thick, long and heavy for outdoor volume, which usually makes them far too much stick for a drum set.
Tags models presented for marching. Thick, long and heavy is the norm, since they have to carry outdoors.
