Promark Shira Kashi Oak 808 Nylon Tip Drumstick

The 808 drumstick from ProMark features a longer taper and a large round nylon tip, which allows for articulate ride cymbal work. The nylon tip produces a brighter and more articulate sound. Shira Kashi Oak, the wood used in these sticks, is a dense and heavy material that provides a sturdy feel in the hand and excellent ride cymbal articulation. Sticks made of this Japanese Oak are exceptionally durable and typically last longer than other wood types.
