Maple is a lighter and softer wood than hickory or oak, so it is characterized by its light weight even when it is large in size. This model utilizes the Select Balance rebound design, featuring a longer 3-inch taper for optimal sensitivity and agility, and a round tip for a clearer, fuller tone. PROMARK Select Balance is a next-generation stick born from groundbreaking ideas that reexamine all the elements drummers need to broaden playability and expressiveness. By changing the length of the taper cut, the center of gravity is shifted and the rebound balance is changed. You can split the stick thicknesses between the most popular ones, set the balance, and choose a more customized stick to suit any drummer's playing style.・Weight Sorted - The weight difference between the left and right sticks is balanced to within 1.5g at the factory.・Tone Sorted - The difference in tone between the left and right sticks is factory-aligned to an industry-leading 6Hz, and is balanced with incredible precision that is inaudible to the human ear. The center of gravity is closer to the grip, and the weight at the tip is light, resulting in a light sound. Size: 15.1 x 406 (mm) Material: Maple Tip: Round Taper Balance: Rebound
