Each drumstick is weighed, checked for tone and then matched into pairs, ensuring the best quality for every pair. The drumsticks have a ball shaped acorn. These drumsticks produce an excellent tone on the snare drum and due to the ball shaped acorn, they are excellent for playing closed roll movements and also open work.
