The Oak Lab series is an ambitious series trying to expand the new possibilities of sticks by focusing on the unique potential of the Oak material. While most of Oak sticks in the world ever have utilized the shape developed for Hickory sticks, we have thoroughly analyzed its balance of hardness and weight; which usually leaves the reputation that Oak is hard to control, but has the advantage of high durability. By pursuing original shapes and balance that utilize the hardness and weight we realized high levels of controllability that improve playability without changing the Oak’s feature of high durability. Furthermore, our Oak Lab Series sticks draw the cymbal’s rich mid-low tone which cannot be obtained by Hickory or Maple. In addition, you can select the right sticks to improve your playing style, our range of sticks cater towards specific directions such as speed, delicate control, power and so on. Whether or not you are a drummer that has used Oak until now, drummers of all persuasions and playing styles will highly appreciate the Oak Lab Series Sticks. The Resonator model is adjusted to bring out a rich resonance from the drum itself. Because the weight of this stick itself is heavy due to its larger size and its Oak material, drummers are able to easily achieve a louder volume enough, even if you don't hit so hard. On the other hand, since the center of gravity is set to be closer to the grip end side, it is easy to handle without feeling such weight in hand. These sticks most notably demonstrate their true value in medium slow and slow tempo songs.
