Meinl SB621 Clay Aeschliman Signature Drumstick
The Clay Aeschliman Signature drumsticks combine the artist’s design with state-of-the-art manufacturing. Designed to deliver versatility and precision, their diameter and length provide a solid feel with excellent control, rebound, and reach. The round tip offers a powerful attack and easy control on all playing surfaces.
Made in Germany from select American walnut, each drumstick is weighed and sorted before shaping. This ensures a very narrow weight range, so every pair has the same weight and tone.
When designing this drumstick, it was essential to create something that complemented my playing style. I use a lot of double strokes, so it was crucial to have a drumstick with the right weight and shape to strike the drum kit on any surface with great rebound, whether it’s the hi-hat or the floor tom, while still maintaining enough balance so it doesn’t feel too big or overpowering. To achieve this, we drew inspiration from the marching drumsticks I used during my drumming days and expanded on them with a design and scale that fit the drum kit. I’m thrilled with what we accomplished, thanks to the incredible and dedicated team at Meinl Stick & Brush. – Clay Aeschliman
The wood: Hickory
American hickory is without doubt the most widely used wood in drumstick manufacturing and the favourite of the vast majority of drummers, thanks to its durability, weight and flexibility. Hickory is denser than maple (by around 10%) and slightly less dense than Japanese oak (also by around 10%). The density and natural feel of this wood make it the preferred choice for the overwhelming majority of drummers.
