Scaling down length and diameter below what you typically see, Compact Drumsticks are a great fit for drummers who prefer the balance and reach of a shorter stick around their drums and cymbals. These models also play well on e-drums where striking surfaces are smaller than an acoustic kit. Plus, their size makes them ideal for younger drummers and students. Compact Drumsticks are made from the same grade of durable American hickory as standard size drumsticks.
