The ProMark Tim Fairbanks Marching Snare drumstick features a long, 4 ¼” taper as well as a rear taper at the butt end of the stick to produce a great balance and feel in the hands. The diameter at the handle is kept at .708” for a comfortable grip and then gradually increases to .755” in shoulder of the drumstick for improved durability where rim shots are played. The stick also features a large round tip for a full, articulate sound from the drum.
