The Tama Fast Blast Oak Drum Stick is a high-quality drum stick from Tama constructed from Japanese oak for a heavy powerful feel. The Fast Blast is designed for drummers who require volume as well as speed. This stick achieves this due to the thin diameter offering increased speed. However the diameter of the stick does not compromise any power or volume due to the heavier Japanese oak which naturally hits hard every time. The stick features a evenly distributed centre of gravity further increasing the speed and power. The over-sized ball tip is shaped with speed in mind allowing for an even rebound from each hit and increased volume and power due to the increased contact with the drum head. The stick is finished with a rough grinded finish instead of the traditional lacquer finish that almost all drum sticks have. The rougher finish offers a better grip allowing you to play faster without worrying about slipping or dropping your sticks.
Oak Lab Series The Oak Lab series is a new series of drum sticks from Tama focused completely on trying to expand the tonal possibilities of Oak. Usually the shape used for oak drum sticks is the same as the more popular hickory however Tama have analysed the woods tonal properties and developed a new shape that utilises the incredible strength and weight that oak offers. The outcome was 5 different models each perfected for a different style of playing from the Smash which features a forward weight balance and a larger tip greatly increasing volume and attack to the Swingin which is designed for intricate timbre and dynamic control throughout play. Furthermore the Japanese oak brings out the rich mid-low cymbal tone which cannot be achieved with regular hickory or maple sticks.
