“When I started working on these drumstick with Meinl, my main goal was not just to create a drumstick that i loved, but also one that felt universal. I wanted one drumstick with constant weight and felt to the end. I needed to have a round tip that wasn't so demanding for me heads, but i could capture my falling in love with the definition of the drumstick and the dynamic sensitivity. Finally, they needed to be durable. Meinl paid attention to every detail and delivered one drumstick much better than anything i could have imagined.”. - Calvin Rodgers
