The Nashville model was designed in conjunction with Brian Fullen, the Nashville-based drum set educator and studio drummer. The overall shape of the stick is a little different compared to most because it actually gets slightly larger in diameter as you go from the 0.626" butt end of the stick up to the 0.630" shoulder. This design in conjunction with the 16.5" length creates a powerful sound while still maintaining player control.

Hybrid drum sticks are somewhere in between, working especially well for music that's heavier than classic jazz but not super-loud like 80's glamour rock - like fusion or electric jazz. Made of durable hickory, these sticks have a short taper for added weight on the front end.

The IP-CR Cool Ride features a quick taper and a small round bead, giving a very defined cymbal sound. Great for an electric jazz or fusion setting.

White hickory, quick taper with an elongated bead.  Produces a full, warm sound on drums and cymbals with a smooth rebound at all dynamic levels.  Length: 16 1/16"; Diameter: .550".
