Product Features

• Made from Premium Hickory: The STG2 concert snare sticks are crafted from durable hickory, known for its strength and shock-absorbing properties. Hickory is the ideal material for sticks that need to withstand extended use while providing a comfortable feel in hand.
• Medium-Soft Taper: The STG2 sticks feature a medium-soft taper that offers a balanced feel, helping to maintain control while allowing the stick to vibrate freely for greater tonal response. This taper design ensures an even and consistent stroke, no matter the intensity of play.
• Classic Oval Tip: The oval-shaped tip provides a rounded tone that is perfect for achieving a warm, resonant sound on snare drums, while also offering articulation for quick accents and rolls. This shape helps maintain clarity across all dynamic levels.
• Length and Diameter: With a length of 16” and a diameter of .655”, the STG2 sticks provide a comfortable weight and balance, ideal for concert snare drumming. The slightly thicker shaft offers more durability without sacrificing control or precision.
