Large grip dimension with a slightly oval bead. Excellent all-around stick. The DIP material is a special coating that is applied to the grip area of the stick to provide a comfortable, slightly tacky gripping surface.
Designed with a 5A shaft, enlarged neck and full taper. A rounded arrow shaped tip creates a phat sound on drums and is full and clear on cymbals.
L = 16", Dia. = .565"
Launched in 1993 to answer the demand of some American jazz musicians (a JAVA with even more wood), the V16 has a thicker tip than the Traditional Vandoren reeds and a longer palette.
