Favourite Fishsticks: 5AXN HYPER BLAST
I love the quality & range of sizes available with Fishsticks. They're perfectly weight matched pairs which gives great tone, balance and control. The Hyperblasts give me that little bit of extra length, without compromising the weight & balance of the stick. They're super fast to play. The nylon tip gives me that extra sharpness & projection on the ride too, which I love with tight, high-speed, blasting Metal.
