The 8D shares the slim 0.540-inch diameter of a 7A but stretches to 16 inches, so you get a light feel with extra reach and leverage.
A 7A feel
The 8D keeps the slim 0.540-inch diameter of a 7A, so it feels like a 7A in the hand.
Teardrop tip
The teardrop tip gives a rich sound on cymbals.
Select hickory, back-cut tip
American Classic sticks are turned from select hickory, a dense wood with little flex for a more pronounced sound. Hickory also withstands a great deal of shock, so the sticks are highly durable, and the tips are deeply back-cut for intensified cymbal response.
Balanced, medium taper
A medium taper gives the best balance between the butt and the tip.
