Tiger 5a Nylon Tip Hickory Drumsticks

Tiger Hickory Drumsticks are by far the most popular choice of stick from Tiger's range due to their ability to absorb a great amount of shock and in turn reduce hand and wrist fatigue.Hickory is denser, heavier and more rigid than maple, making these sticks ideal for gigging college students and adults.The benefits of a Hickory stick over Maple or Oak stick mainly come down to Hickory's high shatter point, meaning it can take a get deal of abuse before breaking. Hickory sticks tend to chip away with rimshots and cymbal uses, as opposed to Maple and Oak that can merely snap in half when the much lower shatter point is reached.The most important benefit is how Hickory sticks absorb more than twice the amount of shock as other woods. This means the vibrations that occur throughout use and contact with rims or cymbals inparticular, are kept within the stick as opposed to transferred on to your hands, wrists, forearms, and elbows.
