Hand finished, 16 7/8″, hickory drumsticks.
Turned of the finest native woods in Cooperman’s Vermont shop, these sticks are individually hand finished and precision matched in pairs, first by weight and then by pitch, and decorated with traditional line designs. Due to the fact that these sticks are matched by weight and pitch but not color, the color of the wood may vary.

I bought these at PASIC and spoke with a co-owner of Cooperman about them. Apparently they're only produced in advance of PASIC each year. They're a little more front-weighted than most of the other Cooperman sticks I have, but it's not too extreme. I can see myself using them when I'm looking for that weight distribution.
Was looking for a small beaded etude stick, so I tried these out. They respond really well at soft dynamics and feel great in the hands because they're just a little back heavy. They roll well (not the best, but well) and are awesome for dense, note-y passages like you might find in Delecluse or Aleo etudes. Wouldn't recommend these sticks for orchestral playing-- they don't have a ton of raw power.
The balance and feel of these sticks are phenomenal, please invest in these, you won't regret it!
