The PLAYWOOD NO.1 is a hickory drumstick for concert and orchestral percussion, listed by PLAYWOOD as the Classic NO.1. It is .669″ (17.0 mm) in diameter and 16.417″ (417 mm) long. It has a teardrop tip and a 長いテーパー taper.
The drumstick silhouette is drawn to scale — length and diameter exactly as published — and the dotted lines mark every 100 mm from the butt end on the left. The outline follows the maker's taper class and tip shape.
Figures as published by the maker. Sticks specified in inches are held in millimetres here, so the inch column is converted back from mm to three decimals; “—” means the maker publishes no value.

About the wood, the tip and the maker
HickoryMaterial
The default choice, and for good reason: enough weight and give to soak up shock, so less buzz reaches your hands, plus it holds up well. Start here if you're not sure.
TeardropTip shape
Halfway between a ball and a flat face. The tone shifts with your angle of attack, and on cymbals it balances definition against body. A genuine all-rounder.
ConcertUse
