Special Edition C-DR6 – Dresdner Series #6 Soft on Carbon/Bamboo

NEW! The carbon fiber Dresdner series features the same cores and coverings as our classic Tonkin Dresdner models but with a proprietary 10.5mm carbon fiber shaft finished with a custom bamboo finish.  Benefits of these models are flawless pitch and weight matching throughout the range and a much higher natural pitch.  All of this equates to a more rigid shaft response compared to Tonkin, with ultra quick rebound and response. 1 1/2″ diameter cork core with multiple felt layers creating a progressively thicker cover overall. This is always preferable to forcing on too thick of a piece of felt at one time as many stick makers do. It takes more time and more steps to do it this way but the sound is worth it in the end. This is a very warm and round stick and was created by the requests of my current timpani artists. It is essentially a ball stick version of my BCS model stick. Highly recommended for Shostakovich 1 cadenza and Bartok Concerto for Orchestra for example. Also an excellent lighter weight roll stick. Try this for the solo high F roll in Tchaik 4. *Break in period for this model is approximately 1 week of regular playing for the felt to relax a bit and become even further voiced naturally…or you can voice them more heavily before using if you wish.
