The lightest of the big three woods. A thick maple stick still feels light, which suits fast, intricate playing and quiet gigs. The trade-off is that it wears out sooner.
OvalTip shape
A little more contact area than a teardrop. Cymbal definition stays in check and the sound is fuller and more blended. Easy to live with, and the most common shape here.
PromarkBrand
Founded 1957 in Houston, Texas. It began by importing Japanese sticks and brought Japanese white oak to the US market. Owned by D'Addario since 2011; Kyoritsu handles Japan.
MarchingUse
For marching bands. Built thick, long and heavy for outdoor volume, which usually makes them far too much stick for a drum set.
JazzGenre
Tags models presented for jazz. Expect slimmer, lighter sticks built around cymbal legato and a delicate touch.
MarchingGenre
Tags models presented for marching. Thick, long and heavy is the norm, since they have to carry outdoors.
