Meinl Stick & Brush Drumsticks, Heavy 5A Half Brick – Hickory Wood Drum Sticks with Acorn Tip – Live, Practice, Drum Kits, Percussion – MADE IN GERMANY

Made from premium United States hickory and crafted in Germany, these sticks are built to the highest standards and with great attention to detail. With increased length, diameter, and weight over our Standard models, Meinl Heavy sticks are built for heavy hitters who want to transfer more intense energy from their sticks into their drums and cymbals. The shoulder has been thickened for greater durability. A thicker acorn tip generates powerful articulation and quick response around the drum kit. Each dowel is weighed and sorted before shaping—the lightest hickory becomes Big Apple sticks for fast ride work, while the densest hickory goes into Heavy models built for power and endurance. This step ensures your sticks always feel the same—pair after pair. Every pair is also weight and pitch matched.
