It might look like it but, this isn't Joe's flagship stick. This is the brand new Longshanks 5A. 13mm longer than our Master Series 5A and still perfectly balanced for almost all playing styles with the Joe's Oval tip bringing unrivalled articulate tone and thanks to a reduction of 0.2mm in the handle diameter, these sticks really shift while simultaneously offering more power, more reach, more... extreme unmatched... 'moreness' than any 'standard' 5A you've played before. Our Master Series drumsticks are turned from the finest, hand-selected Master Grade American Hickory. Then using proprietary pitch matching software our experienced technicians pair to within 30 cents (1 semitone interval is 100 cents) and weight match to within 0.8g, before they are hand finished and sent with love, from us to you. Specification: Wood: American Hickory Length: 419mm Diameter: 14.3mm Taper: Medium Finish: Joe's 'True Grip' Lacquer Tip: Joe's Custom Oval Stick Weight: ≈56g Choosing your tip: Our Custom Shape Oval Tip is more like a hybrid of a traditional teardrop/oval and will give you the most well rounded frequency response with articulate highs delivered by the oval but also delivering the fatter, 'warm' sounding lows associated with a Teardrop. Joe's True Grip Lacquer is our standard lacquer, thinner than the Smooth Touch it produces significantly enhanced grip over its brother. Designed to give confidence come showtime but never compromising on feel. Using hand-selected, Master Grade American Hickory sticks delivers a very durable, medium weight stick with a well rounded tonal response.
