The American Jazz AJ3: a lighter touch that is ideal for jazz, with a longer taper for added rebound and a thin shaft that decreases weight for effortless playing.
Developed for ultimate rebound on drums and cymbals
A Lighter Touch for Jazz — Added Rebound, Effortless Playing.
Built for rebound
The American Jazz line was developed for players looking for ultimate rebound on the drums and cymbals. A long taper in the shaft gives it that great feel.
A lighter touch for jazz
The AJ3 has a lighter touch that is ideal for jazz. Its thin 0.545-inch shaft decreases weight for effortless playing.
Dark cymbal sounds, focused tip
The neck is sizable enough to draw dark sounds from cymbals, and the small teardrop tip keeps everything in focus.
Long taper, added rebound
The longer taper adds rebound. A long taper produces a back-heavy feel with more flex and a faster response.
More American Jazz sizes
We also stock the AJ1 (0.595", a 5B diameter) and the AJ2 (0.565", a 5A shaft). All three are 16 inches long with a long taper and a small teardrop tip.
