New Jazz Stick Can Drive a Big Band!!!!!!!
January 22, 2003
At the Winter NAMM show, Zildjian announced the new Big Band Jazz
Model Drumstick.
Designed by Big Band Specialist and Educator Steve Fidyk, the Big
Band Jazz Model Drumstick features a reverse tapered butt--end (smaller
at the end than in the middle of the stick), which provides a comfortable
feel and distinctive balance that provides extra "swing" to the
stick. The elongated oval bead provides dark and full ride cymbal
tones and full drum sounds. Measuring 15 15/16 inches long and 0.505
inches in the grip area, this full size of the stick provides enough
heft to drive a big band while the long taper provides a great deal
of sensitivity. The Big Band Jazz Model Drumstick is constructed
from U.S. Select Hickory at the Zildjian Stick Factory in Moundville,
AL.
