Meinl SB701 Waxed 5A Drumsticks – American Hickory
The Meinl SB701 is a versatile 5A drumstick built for drummers who want a reliable all-rounder without compromising on feel or consistency. Crafted from premium American Hickory with a smooth light wax finish, these sticks offer a comfortable, natural grip and a classic vintage aesthetic that looks as good as it plays.
At 16" with a medium taper and acorn tip, the SB701 sits in the sweet spot between control and power — slightly wider than a 7A at 14.4mm, making it a go-to choice for rock, pop, funk, and general practice. Whether you’re behind the kit at rehearsal or in the studio, the SB701 delivers consistent, articulate tone on every surface.
