Lalo Davila, Associate Professor of Music and Director of Percussion Studies at Middle Tennessee State University, has designed the IP-LD signature model concert snare drumstick to serve as an educational tool for the beginning snare drummer. 

The IP-LD is constructed of white hickory, and features a slightly smaller diameter to better accommodate the smaller hands of a beginning player. The barrel shaped bead creates a full sound quality at any dynamic level, while the slightly longer taper results in an increased rebound and excellent balance. The Lalo Davila signature model is an excellent general purpose concert snare drumstick and the perfect tool for the percussion educator teaching young snare drummers.
