Modern rock and metal drummers need sticks that can keep up with their hard-hitting style. Designed in collaboration with Brooks Wackerman, Innovative Percussion’s A7X Signature Series Drumsticks deliver a pummeling sound in spades, with excellent balance and control to boot. In addition to manning the drum throne for Avenged Sevenfold, Brooks has also toured with Bad Religion and Tenacious D, among other acts. Along the way, he identified specific areas where his sticks could be improved and implemented them in his A7X sticks. They utilize a design that starts at 0.626 of an inch at the butt and expands to 0.630 of an inch (2B size) at the shoulder for extra weight and power. The mild taper from shoulder to tip improves the stick’s balance. Finally, the barrel-shaped wood tip sounds bold on drums and strident against cymbals. Order your Innovative Percussion A7X Signature Series Brooks Wackerman Model Drumsticks from Sweetwater and experience their power firsthand.
