Meinl Big Apple Swing Drumsticks are a big stick with a focused but light sound and feel to swing all night on the bandstand. The undersized acorn tip yields a sweet articulation on cymbals for maximum clarity while allowing them to breathe. A combination of large diameter and light grade of hickory is great for drummers who want a big stick without overpowering the band. Small Acorn Tip, Light Hickory.
