These 15" Compact drum sticks from MEINL Stick & Brush are slightly smaller than the standard size, ideal for younger drummers and students. By scaling down length and diameter below what is typical, they are a great fit for drummers who prefer the balance and reach of a shorter stick around their drums and cymbals. This compact stick has a diameter of 0.53" with a medium taper and an oval tip. It plays well on e-drums where striking surfaces are smaller than an acoustic kit.
