Meinl SB702 Waxed 5B Drumsticks – American Hickory

The Meinl SB702 is a powerful 5B drumstick engineered for drummers who need maximum projection and a confident, authoritative feel. Built from premium American Hickory with a smooth light wax finish, these sticks combine durability with a tactile grip that holds up through the most demanding performances.

At 15.1mm diameter with a medium taper and acorn tip, the SB702 is noticeably thicker than a standard 5A — delivering greater volume and punch on both drums and cymbals. It’s the go-to choice for rock, metal, and any situation where power and projection take priority, while retaining the familiar 5-series feel in the hand.

Why Choose the Meinl SB702?

• Weight Matched – Every pair is weighed to ensure perfect balance between sticks
• Pitch Matched – Consistent resonance across both sticks for a uniform sound
• Model-Based Weight Selection – Dowels are sorted by weight before shaping for repeatable feel
• Light Wax Finish – Smooth, tactile grip with a timeless look
