The Tama Smash Oak Drum Stick is a high-quality drum stick from Tama constructed from Japanese oak for a heavy powerful feel. The Smash is designed for drummers who require additional power and attack which this drum stick delivers and then some. The stick was designed to bring the centre of gravity forward. This is done by having a longer stick a larger heavier tip and a shorter shoulder area. These features combined makes the stick much heaver towards the tip allowing for faster more aggressive strikes with huge power and attack. The over-sized acorn tip also increases the amount of contact the stick makes with the drum head increasing the volume overall.
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.
