Innovative Percussion Ed Soph Signature Drumsticks – Jazz / Maple (Model ES-1)

Introducing the Innovative Percussion ES-1 Ed Soph Signature Drumsticks, manufactured by Innovative Percussion and developed in collaboration with renowned jazz educator and performer Ed Soph. Designed with the drum set player in mind, these sticks are the first model in Innovative Percussion’s Combo Drumstick Series, purpose-built for clarity, balance, and musical nuance in jazz and small-group settings.

Crafted from maple, the ES-1 offers a lightweight, responsive feel that supports finesse, touch, and dynamic control—ideal for combo and intimate ensemble playing. The acorn-shaped bead delivers articulate definition on cymbals while maintaining warm, full tone on drums, making these sticks especially effective for ride cymbal patterns and detailed comping.

With a comfortable diameter and refined length, the ES-1 balances speed and control, allowing players to execute nuanced phrasing with ease. Whether performing straight-ahead jazz, big band charts at softer dynamics, or modern small-group music, these sticks provide a dependable, musical response.
