The 14" compact drum sticks from MEINL Stick & Brush scale down length and diameter below what is typical, making them a great fit for drummers who prefer the balance and reach of a shorter stick around their drums and cymbals. This compact stick has a diameter of 0.52" with a medium taper and an oval tip. It plays well on e-drums where striking surfaces are smaller than an acoustic kit. Plus, their size makes them ideal for younger drummers and students.
