I really like the pair I got. They're lightweight, and have good rebound, making loose diddles very easy. But they're also controllable, where you can get tight diddles in just as easy.
The Salyers Percussion MAS1 marching snare drum stick is turned from white hickory for maximum strength and durability. The longer taper provides quick rebound and makes playing with this stick feel effortless. The barrel shaped tip provides plenty of contact with the head for a full-bodied snare sound.

These sticks are a great all around marching stick. The MAS1 could be compared most easily to Hardimons. I personally prefer no paint or lacquer on my sticks and this has delivered with a good smooth finish and solid build. Mine came in pitch matched, and the butt of the stick is flag and rounded off (much like most innovative percussion sticks). The bead produces a full sound ranging at all dynamics with a medium taper that allows for pressing into the drum for diddles at higher tempos. My final conclusion, would recommend as all around medium marching stick.
The barrel tip provides great articulation combined with a long taper which allows for rebound with excellent feel throughout the stick. Excellent care put out in delivering and making this stick, not to mention pitch paired.
These are incredible marching snare sticks with a nice full sound and a great weight distribution!
These sticks are well balanced with enough "beef" to project/cut through the largest of tutti donut (loud) moments! I am a band director that teaches at a school that has a pretty stout band when it comes to playing and these sticks are a tremendous help with balancing. I am going to order extra sticks for the tenors next year to try it with them. Give them a shot!!!
