About Innovative Percussion IP-1 Snare Drum Sticks:
 
The IP-1 is designed for general concert snare drum use.  The stick is constructed of white hickory resulting in a denser and slightly heavier stick weight.  The IP-1 is designed slightly thicker and longer for increased control and balance.  The elongated oval bead creates a darker sound, while the short taper increases the tip weight for better response at lower dynamic levels.  The IP-1 is an excellent multi-purpose concert snare drumstick.
