The Carbostick 5A CT Model drumstick is offered in a 5A CT Light weighted stick that mirrors the feel of maple wood. The 5A CT Medium weighted stick mirrors the feel of a hickory wood stick. The 5A CT Premium weighted stick mirrors the heavier/more dense feel of Oak wood. In addition to the three different tip sizes and three different weights within the 5A CT spectrum, Carbostick offers each of these three 5A CT variations in the Copper Ink-Rear/Light Balance Point Conformation or the Silver Ink-Front/Heavy Balance Point Conformation. Never before have there been so many choices within one drum stick size and this level of manufacturing control is only available with our patented processes and utilization of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber out performs wood in Rebound, Control, Balance, Vibration, Speed, and Durability.
