Together, Calvin and Meinl have developed a new signature drumstick that is not only great for moving quickly around the kit, but also perfect for deep and fat grooves Based on a diameter of 5A and selected hickory from the USA, this unique stick has a total length of 16.5 ". This allows you to reach all of your cymbals or other sound effects without any problems. In addition, the stick is designed with a long taper, which creates a very good rebound.  The Round-Tip creates an articulate and clear sound on both cymbals and drums, while the weight and balance provide the sensitivity and feel required for a great all-round stick.   “When I started working with Meinl on my signature stick, my main goal was not just to create a stick that I love, but also a stick that feels universal. I wanted a model with an even weight and feel for the whole stick. It had to have a round tip that doesn't stress my eardrums as much, but can capture my infatuation with the definition and dynamic sensitivity of the stick. After all, it had to be durable. Meinl paid attention to every single detail and developed  a drumstick that was far better than anything I could have imagined. ”- Calvin Rodgers  Tip: Round Material: American Hickory Length (inch): 16.5 Product: Stick Size: 5A
