Feels great in your hands. Perfect for what I needed.
The Innovative Percussion CL-2L concert snare drumsticks are designed in collaboration with Christopher Lamb, Principal Percussionist of the New York Philharmonic, and built for the demands of professional orchestral snare drum performance. This laminated beech version of the CL-2L delivers a slightly heavier, more robust feel while maintaining the refined control and articulation the series is known for.
Engineered specifically for orchestral and solo concert snare drum playing, the CL-2L offers exceptional consistency in weight and response. The laminated beech construction enhances durability and produces a lively rebound, making it ideal for players who need added projection and clarity without sacrificing sensitivity or control.
The extended taper design supports fluid response and smooth articulation across a wide dynamic range, while the elongated oval bead produces a darker, more legato tone with excellent sustain. This combination makes the CL-2L especially effective for roll passages, orchestral textures, and tenor drum applications where warmth and continuity are essential.
Maintaining the trusted Christopher Lamb Model #2 profile, the CL-2L preserves its core dimensions while utilizing a denser laminated beech material for improved stability and a more substantial feel in the hand. The result is a concert snare stick that balances traditional orchestral design with enhanced weight and tonal depth.

All of the Innovative sticks I've purchased are of excellent quality, a pleasure to hold and play with. These are lighter weight that some of the others I've got and very bouncy and lively. Agreed that the longer tip is good for rolls, and also found in practicing that hitting this long tip on a practice pad pushed me into keeping my left hand in a proper position, to hit the tip flat on the pad. Beautiful sticks.
I've bought quite a few pairs of snare drum sticks over the years, but I keep on finding myself reaching for these when I play. These sticks give a full and dark sound to the drum, mostly because of the big bead. The stick comes off the head really quick. They're a joy to play with.
You have great control with these sticks. They feel lighter than the CL-1, but its because the shaft is longer. The sound is darker, all around good stick.
