As one of the world's most sought after studio percussionists and teachers, Joe Porcaro has developed the Diamond Tip Drumstick Series as the perfect complement to conventional sticks. The exclusive diamond shaped tip is designed to provide increased articulation, greater technical facility and a cleaner, brighter sound from the drums, cymbals and hi-hats in any playing situation. A great choice for drum set players as well as studio and orchestral percussionists.
