These sticks are made using carefully selected high-quality wood, and all processes from processing to finishing are carried out in factories in Japan. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, and only those that are carefully selected through strict standards right up to the final stage are shipped as products. Each model is designed to reflect the opinions of various professional drummers, and we strive for high quality not only in terms of balance but also in terms of sound. This series is made from high-quality North American hickory wood and has a thin lacquer finish. A special wax is applied as a final coating to provide anti-slip properties. The slightly longer taper produces an open sound, and the nuances can be changed by changing the tip angle.
