MEINL SB606 Hickory Zack Grooves drumstick

Zack Grooves came to Meinl Stick & Brush with the goal of finding a drumstick that would be an extension of his hand and respond when needed regardless of the situation he found himself in. Together we designed a baton that has a unique combination of weight, diameter and length. We first select our heaviest hickory dowels and then mill them to a medium-thin .550” diameter. The pins are then cut to a length of 16.5 inches and have a long taper to counteract the heavy weight. This creates an overall balance, and the end result is a fast stick that plays light enough for small and intimate venues, but has the weight to withstand louder gigs when needed.

To complement the flexibility, Zack chose an oval tip for its for its balanced response and the wide range of tones and attacks that can be generated on the cymbals, giving him complete control over the final sound.

What does ZACK GROOVES himself say about these sticks?
“I was on a mission to find the perfect drumstick no matter what style of music I played. I needed something light enough for a concert of jazz standards at a cocktail bar, but also heavy and durable enough to rock a rock hit. And let me tell you, the people at Meinl Stick & Brush did the trick!
My drumsticks are very fast and responsive to playing. But with the extra length, there's enough reach to blaze powerfully around your drum kit without feeling like you're working too hard. I always feel like I have complete control over what I play, regardless of style or task. Let's not forget about the oval tip of the stick, which sounds really good. Overall, this is my favorite drum stick of all time."
