Frequently Asked Questions

The 602 series offers a warmer, more complex tone than the brighter, more direct 2002. The 602 also tends to have a slightly more controlled, dampened sound.
While they’re ‘heavy’, they’re not designed for extremely high-volume rock or metal. They’ll work, but their warmth might get lost in a very aggressive mix.
I’d suggest a medium-to-heavy tip stick – something that can drive the stick through the bronze without getting swallowed by the sound. Avoid very light, delicate sticks.
