Nude Universal Drumsticks. Sturdy neck and rounded oval style tip. Great for extra volume and attack without excess weight. Hickory is the most popular wood used for making drumsticks. Hickory is denser, heavier and more rigid than Maple. A line of drumsticks with no finish or lacquer. The unfinished sticks leave a comfortable sanded grip that is perfect for drummers who have problems with stick slippage due to hand sweat while performing.
