In collaboration with El Estepario Siberiano, Meinl has created the SB605 El Estepario Siberiano Sticks, which combines versatility and speed in perfect harmony. This stick, made from carefully selected US hickory, has a diameter of 0.555 inches, slightly narrower than a standard 5A stick, thus guaranteeing optimum balance. The overall length of 16.375 inches, paired with a medium length taper and a medium weight, allows for a unique playing feel and an almost attack on cymbals. The Acorn tip emphasizes the unmistakable cymbal sound. This stick is the result of months of development aimed at achieving a balanced weighting and high durability, making it a durable and trustworthy tool for any style of music.
