ActiveGrip sticks feature a heat-activated grip coating solution that gets tackier as your body temperature rises, helping you stay controlled and confident during any set. These sticks offer a thin, comfortable coating that won’t tear up your hands or transfer to your drumheads and cymbals. No matter the heat, sweat, or pressure, ActiveGrip helps you handle it. • Hickory is the most popular wood choice for drumsticks due to its resilience, responsiveness, durability, and classic feel • Length 16" • Diameter .595" (5B) • Active Grip - Heat activated grip coating that grips stronger the harder you play • The reinvented Acorn tip provides a larger contact surface to increase responsiveness and articulation
