It measures 409.6 mm in length with a 1.35 cm diameter and features a long, narrow taper and a nylon tip for a brighter sound. The black-and-white finish offers a distinct visual style while maintaining the balance and durability expected from Pro-Mark sticks.

Usage recommendations

For consistent bright cymbal articulation and fast response, pair these sticks with medium to hard cymbals and consider using them for passages that require precise articulation and speed.
