The Meinl Siros Vaziri Signature Drumsticks (SB608) have a front-heavy, balanced hybrid tip stick that mixes power with control and articulation.
From Siros Vaziri: "I wanted to develop a stick that lets me play loud with minimal effort, while also keeping a soft and articulate cymbal sound. Meinl Stick & Brush really nailed it - this is without a doubt the best feeling stick I've ever held in my hands. The extra length and short taper give it a front-heavy feel, which lets me hit hard without actually doing much. It's like a long hammer with extra weight at the top - you barely have to swing it and you still get a ton of force from it. The hybrid tip is the PERFECT contrast to that front-heavy feel. It makes the ride, hi-hat and ghost notes softer and more articulate. Fast or slow, loud or quiet - this stick is just perfectly balanced to give you what you need in any situation. It almost feels like it plays itself, and it can take a beating too. LOVE IT!"
