Easy to play drumsticks that are great for articulating at the hi-hat, cymbals, and drums. The perfect stick for all purpose playing, and a must in your artillery of drumsticks.

As one of the world's most sought after studio percussionists and teachers, Joe Porcaro has developed several new products to help drummers improve their drumming. Joe's Diamond Tip Drumsticks are the perfect complement to conventional sticks. Their exclusive diamond shaped tip is designed to allow increased articulation, greater technical facility and a cleaner, brighter sound from drums, cymbal and hi-hats in any drumming situation. Used by top drumset artists as well as studio and orchestral percussionists, Diamond Tip sticks are now available in a complete selection of wood or nylon tip models in a choice of premium-grade hand-selected Hickory or Maple. In addition, Joe's informative drum books and video have become essential parts of every serious drummer's library.

DIAMOND TIP DRUMSTICKS

• Unique Diamond Tip design is great for increased articulation, greater technical facility, and a cleaner, brighter, more-focused sound from drums, cymbals, and hi-hats.

• The perfect complement to conventional sticks, brushes, and mallets— the General and special-purpose drumstick for all live and studio drumming situations.

• Used by top drum set artists as well as studio and orchestral percussionists, including Paul Humphrey, Raynor Carroll, Bobby Zimmitti, Larry Bunker, Michael Fisher, Dan Greco, Judy Chilnick, Alan Estes, and Ralph Razze.

• 5A, 7A, 8A, 2B, 5B, and Rock models come with either wood or nylon tips and are available in a choice of premium-grade hand-selected Hickory or Maple.

• The Rock, 5B, and 2B sticks are not recommended for heavy rock drumming. They are recommended for normal Rock and Jazz applications, although if you would like to try them for heavy rock drumming, we have had good feedback from drummers that use them with Aquarian Performance II (the new improved 2-ply drumhead).

• The 5B and 2B models are excellent for orchestra playing especially in the Maple models. For the younger student, he will find that with Diamond Tip stick, it will be easier to articulate the rudiments and buzz rolls.

• The 5B and 2B are especially popular with the L.A. Studio percussionists. When you hear snare drum playing on such movies as The Fugitive, Batman Forever, Executive Decision, Mission Impossible, Independence Day, Ransom, Space Jam, and Metro, listen to the articulate sound of the snare drums played with Diamond Tip Drumsticks.
