Uniquely shaped barrel tips on slightly elongated long-taper shafts give Meinl’s Hybrid drumsticks superb articulation and a quick, whiplike response. But apart from these features, the Hybrid series is sized (in diameter) according to industry standards, making them an easy transition for the occasional song, set, or gig. These German-engineered American hickory sticks have been manufactured to the tightest tolerances and developed with input from Meinl’s renowned artist roster. Their density-tuned hickory construction gives Meinl Hybrid sticks strength to hold their shape and durability to go the distance. If you’re the type of drummer who likes to be prepared for anything, take this tip from Sweetwater: Throw a pair of Meinl Hybrid drumsticks in your stick bag and enjoy their added reach and unique response.
