Timbale Stick, Grooved 0.500 Inch Diameter x 16 Inch Length, Hickory 8 Pairs (16 Sticks), Grooved Grip and Guiro Drumsticks - MIGUEL "MIGUELO" VALDÉS SIGNATURE

• MIGUEL "MIGUELO" VALDES SIGNATURE DESIGN: Developed in direct collaboration with acclaimed Cuban percussionist Miguel "Miguelo" Valdés. Born into a legendary folkloric musical family, Miguelo channeled decades of performance experience from the stages of Havana to global tours with icons like Celia Cruz, Buena Vista Orchestra & Tropicana to engineer a stick incorporating trade secrets for the physical demands of elite, modern multi-percussion arrangements.
• RIBBED SURFACE TEXTURE FOR GRIP STABILITY: Features a machined parallel ridge pattern along the drumstick handle. This textured grip provides a high-friction, slip-resistant surface to support secure hand placement and consistent stick control during extended live playing sessions.
• AUXILIARY SCRAPING PROFILE FOR PERCUSSIVE EFFECTS: Modern multi-percussion arrangements. The ridge pattern along the handle was also designed to have the exact dimensions of traditional guiro grooves replicating the Guiro sound when used directly against percussion hardware, blocks, or shells with a single hand.
• AMERICAN HICKORY CYLINDER CONSTRUCTION: Manufactured from dense American Hickory wood with a uniform 1/2-inch (0.500 in) diameter from handle to tip. The straight, tailless profile provides an evenly distributed weight mass, supporting balanced acoustic sound projection across drumheads, cowbells, and rims.
• BULK 8-PAIR PACKAGE CONFIGURATION: Includes 8 complete matched pairs (16 individual sticks total) sorted by weight and density during production for consistent balance. This bulk packaging option offers a consolidated inventory supply solution for recording studios, ensembles, and touring musicians.
