Meinl Stick & Brush Stick Nano Drumsticks for Low Volume — American Hickory with No Tip — Made in Germany (SB142)

Nano Sticks were designed for applications when more nuance and precision is desired or regular drumsticks are too loud. The unique, slim diameter combined with the lack of a tip creates extreme definition on ride cymbals and hihats with very little overtones or wash. On drums, they produce top end attack without the bottom end frequencies. Additionally, these sticks allow you to play a drumkit at a whisper volume without losing definition. This means you can pull these out of the stick bag for specific expression and tones or to work within the limitations of certain gigs, such as small, intimate rooms.

Features

• ALWAYS FEELS THE SAME: raw wood dowels are pre-sorted by weight and density before becoming drumsticks; this ensures a narrower weight range for your go-to sticks, so they always feel the way you expect
• WHY IT MATTERS: there’s no adjusting to a different weight when you buy a new pair; having this consistent of a feel with your drumsticks helps you stay focused while performing and practicing
• NANO DRUMSTICK SPECS: 17.32″ long, 0.375″ diameter, no tip, short taper; the lack of a tip creates extraordinary definition on cymbals and top end attack on drums without bottom end frequencies
• ONE TAKEAWAY: Nano Sticks were designed for applications when more nuance and precision is desired or regular drumsticks are too loud
• OF NOTE: this is an extra slim stick, but we give it a short taper to retain some solidness in the feel; this also helps balance the stick overall
• CATCH UP QUICK: these drumsticks are made in Germany from premium United States hickory for strength and durability; hickory is our strongest wood type and is great for all-around use
• THE BOTTOM LINE: you can use Nano Sticks for specific expression and tones or to work within the limitations of low volume, intimate gigs (instead of going to brushes or rods)
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you’re delivered the absolute finest quality
