American Sound drumsticks are a takeoff from our most popular American Classic models, with the neck and neck of the 7A, 8D, and 5A, 5B, 2B, and ROCK, but with a full round tip. This tip change creates a completely different sound for each model, bringing more focus and clarity to drums and cymbals. This line furthers our effort to offer drummers the ability to change their sound and color without sacrificing feel and balance.
