Tom Aungst Tenor Hybrid (STATH)
The Tom Aungst Tenor Hybrid blends the feel of a traditional tenor mallet with the sound of a snare stick. A “step-down” grip design, pronounced taper and perfect tip shape and size assists the player in getting around the drums easily while producing a great sound. Great for both indoor and outdoor applications.
L = 15 3/4 ", Dia. = .700" at butt, .650" at shaft |
