A 7A-like shaft coupled with a very small neck and tip of the sweetest cymbal sounds. No fear of "overplaying" with this model! L=15 1/2", Dia.=.550". Developed for the player who is looking for ultimate rebound on the drum and ride cymbal, the American Jazz® line is comprised of six models which feature a long taper in the shaft for that great feel! The neck specifications are sizeable enough to create dark cymbal sounds, and the small tear drop tip keeps everything in focus.
