Stick Feel Meets Brush Texture

Provides a solid 5A stick tone, with the added capability of delivering wire-brush articulation-no need to switch tools mid-gig.

Robust & Drumhead-Friendly

Wire tap surface reduces wear and tear compared to brushing metal bristles directly.

Dynamic Range

Striking with the stick end yields full-bodied tone, while brushing offers gentle swishes-perfect for transitional styles from rock to jazz.

Built to Last

Non-retractable metal wires and sturdy wood handle ensure longevity, especially suited for regular players.

Portable & Gig-Ready

Simple design with no mechanisms means it packs easily into stick bags with less risk of damage.

Ideal For

Hybrid Players: Those who need quick transitions from stick to brush sounds
Low to Mid-Volume Settings: Acoustic, jazz, unplugged, singer-songwriter gigs
Drummers: Seeking resilience and consistency in performance tools
