This stick does everything you could possibly want it to do. It’s not your ordinary
stick. It is balanced, it is powerful. This is the Wicked Piston!” – Mike Mangini

Mike Mangini’s new unique American Hickory design starts out at .580”
(1.47cm) in the grip and increases slightly towards the middle of the stick until
it reaches .620” (1.57cm) and then tapers back down to an acorn tip. Mike’s
reason for this design is so that the stick has a slightly added front weight for
a solid, consistent “throw” and transient sound. With the extra length,
you can adjust how much front weight you’re implementing by slightly moving
your fulcrum point up or down on the stick. You’ll also get a fat sounding
rimshot crack from the added front weighted taper.
