Erwin Falk Signature 15A
This stick is modelled on the one used by a famous (now late) jazz drummer whose performance is still acclaimed worldwide.
This stick served as the basis for the present model, very carefully modified for orchestral playing, without any change to its basic characteristics. The special form gives a very fast stick with a great roll, which shapes up well around the drum-kit.
The drop-shaped head makes this stick ideal for playing on natural skins.
