There’s an easy confidence that comes from sticks that truly match your touch, and the MEINL Clay Aeschliman signature drumsticks deliver that feel with every strike. Designed around a balanced 0.580" diameter and 16.5" length, they sit comfortably in the hand while providing the weight and authority associated with Clay’s playing style. Known for his work as the drummer of Polyphia, Clay brings a blend of precision, power and dynamic control to modern progressive music, and these sticks are shaped to reflect that approach. An acorn tip produces a full, articulate sound with clear definition on both cymbals and drums, while American hickory construction and a heavy-stick profile ensure durability and consistency in demanding musical environments. With weight matching, pitch matching and model-based weight selection, these signature sticks maintain a unified feel that supports everything from tight, intricate patterns to hard-hitting grooves.
