The tama full balance oak drum stick is a high quality drum stick from tama constructed from japanese oak for a heavy powerful feel. The full balance is designed for all round versatility. It features a regular .570 diameter and a length of 16. The stick performs well in every area and style with increased accuracy compared to a regular 5a hickory drum stick due to the oak giving it increased weight. The stick features a true round tip shape allowing players to balance volume and technicality. The round tip is also suited for faster drumming due to the fact that the stick rebounds off of the head in the same way every time. This also ensures even tones from drums and cymbals. Additionally the combination of the rounded tip and the hardness of the japanese oak wood work together to provide an incredibly well balanced timbre and a clear attack.
