Lalo Davila designed the IP-LD signature model concert snare drumstick to serve as an educational tool for the beginning snare drummer. Constructed of white hickory, it features a slightly smaller diameter to better accommodate the smaller hands of a beginning player. The barrel-shaped bead creates a full sound quality at any dynamic level, while the slightly longer taper results in an increased rebound and excellent balance. The Lalo Davila signature model is an excellent general-purpose concert snare drumstick and the perfect tool for the percussion educator teaching young snare drummers.
