Profile: Heavyweight 2B Style
With its substantial 16.2 mm diameter and slightly extended 16.45" length, the Simon Dawson Signature Drumstick delivers the weight, reach and authority required for powerful, high-volume playing.
What truly sets this model apart is its unique taper and tip combination. Inspired by vintage marching sticks and classic 1960s designs from Promuco and Arbiter, the neck features a subtle hourglass profile that enhances rebound and gives this heavyweight stick a surprisingly lively, responsive feel.
The oversized rounded tip produces a bold, focused sound, delivering punchy definition across both drums and cymbals. The result is a commanding drumstick that combines raw power with the response and control demanded by a world-class touring drummer.
For players who want maximum impact without losing feel or precision, this is the ultimate heavyweight weapon.
