JMG-1
(THE SUMO) SOFT - BOLD/SMOOTH - RED INDICATOR
Soft but firm, the Sumo is the perfect stick for both buttery smooth rolls and juicy single notes; no need to switch sticks. The sticks work really well for loud rolls, too - keep your grip loose and lift high, and let the sticks do the work for you.
