Unsurpassed clarity and response.

Horacio is noted for his musical control and creativity and this stick really reflects these attributes. Featuring Zildjian's smallest bead, this stick provides very clear and pinpoint tonality. This drumstick offers a solid feel. The long taper to small round bead, creates a drumstick that "dances" in a controlled fashion on instruments. A double coating of lacquer also gives the stick a grippy feel.

A native of Havana, Cuba, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez's talent became evident early on at an age of 12, he was accepted into the prestigious Escuela Nacional de Arte, where he majored in drums and percussion.

He has played with musicians ranging from Gonzalo Rubalacaba to Michel Camilo to Carlos Santana to Tito Puente's Tropi-Jazz All-Stars. His distinct drumming style, the potent mixture of Afro Cuban and jazz elements, has made him an artist of extraordinary power and musical versatility.

These sticks are great! They are so lightweight and my rebound with them is phenomenal. They give you a lot of control and precision. If you like to play with lots of fills and rolls, you will love these!
