The 5A is the most versatile stick size out there, and in maple it plays lighter and faster than hickory while still giving you enough stick to drive a band. The Stagg SM5A with a wood tip is a solid everyday stick for rock, pop, country, R&B, or any situation where you need a stick that works across the whole kit without fighting you. If you are not sure what size to try, start here.

• Maple construction for lightweight feel and balanced response
