The Stinger ST4 Performance bundle drumstick features four bamboo slats surrounding a central foam core. The four bamboo slats are cased within a rubber sleeve which also aids grip when performing. Stinger drum sticks are a bundled rod concept built around a foam core which provides a quick response when playing. The Stinger range has been designed to feel like a conventional drumstick, but benefits from being much quieter. If you often perform in small, acoustic venues, you may benefit from Headhunter Stinger Drumsticks. Added impact protection at the tip of the drum stick will preserve your Stinger ST4�s.
