Joey's Signature Stick:
Joey Heredia (SJH)
Joey’s signature stick is made of maple and features an extended tip. This very unique tip shape can produce a range of sound depending on the angle from which it is played -- capable of achieving both bright and dark cymbal sounds. The overall length and diameter coupled with the smooth, blended taper create a stick that can be played at high powered and super soft dynamic levels.
L = 16 3/16”, Dia = .580”
