From WUV,
drummer for P.O.D., comes the
new SWUV signature stick. It features A 7A shaft with an
enlarged tear drop tip for a light feel with a big sound. "My
stick is phat. It's not as big as most sticks, but it lets me
be versatile and play fast and hard and it holds up amazingly.
It feels so natural that you don't even think it's in your hand,
homey. VF makes
the best sticks in the world, and they are the leader of the
new school jack."

my stick for comfort, balance and durability. I also designed

factors will give you more powerful techniques and graceful
rhythms." The

a 55A shaft with a barrel tip for a beefy stick that's easy
to play.
