Description
Zack Grooves came to Meinl Stick & Brush with the goal of finding a drumstick that would be an extension of his hand and respond as needed regardless of the situation he found himself in. Together, we designed a stick that features a unique combination of weight, diameter, and length. To start, we select our heaviest hickory dowels and then lathe them down to a medium-thin diameter of 0.550". The dowels are then trimmed to a length of 16.5 inches and feature a long taper to counteract the heavy weight. This provides 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 complete the flexibility, Zack chose an oval tip for its balanced response and the wide range of tones and attacks that can be generated on cymbals, giving him total control over the final sound.
What does ZACK GROOVES say about these sticks?
“I was on a mission to find the perfect drumstick regardless of the style of music I play. I needed something light enough for a jazz standards gig at a cocktail bar, but also heavy and durable enough to strike a rock hit. And let me tell you, the folks at Meinl Stick & Brush delivered!
My drumsticks are very fast and responsive to playing. But thanks to the extra length, there is enough reach to burn powerfully around the drum kit without feeling like you're working too hard. I always feel like I have total control over what I'm playing, regardless of the style or task. Let's not forget the oval tip, which sounds really good. Overall, it's my favorite drumstick of all time.”
