JAMES CAMPBELL MODEL / HICKORY
The James Campbell signature concert snare drumstick models were designed by James Campbell, Professor of Music and Director of Percussion Studies at the University of Kentucky, and Principal Percussionist with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra.
The IP-JC is constructed of white hickory,
and the oval shaped bead creates a full dark tone quality. The very short taper and small collar size
give the stick an excellent balance and response for rolls and softer
passages.
