Proudly made in Germany, we use American hickory and North American hard maple to create high-quality drumsticks that are focused on the most popular diameters and feature a variety of tips, tapers and lengths. Our goal with this clear and focused line is to help drummers easily find the right stick to craft their music.

Alternative sticks help both drummers and percussionists achieve new sounds or play in a more efficient manner. These unique tools can be applied to a wide range of percussion instruments.

Classic style timbales sticks made from American hickory for strength and durability in various diameters and lengths.

Using various materials and combinations, our multi-rod bundles can be used on all types of percussion instruments from cajon to drum kit. The diverse assortment will allow players to create unique sounds and add layers of texture to their drum and percussion sets.

Our diverse line of brushes gives drummers and percussionists the tools they need to play the classics as well as explore new sounds and textures featuring both traditional and innovative materials and construction.

About Signature

The Meinl Stick & Brush Slimak Signature is a pair of our Heavy 5B American Hickory sticks, with one stick having no taper or tip. Like a thick timbale stick, it’s meant for extra-heavy snare hits while you play cymbals with the standard stick.

"For over 30 years, I’ve experimented with various drumsticks and struggled to find a suitable left-hand stick. I needed a heavier stick for my left hand to achieve stronger snare hits. 
I tried turning the stick over to play with the bottom end, which was uncomfortable to hold. I also tried keeping two separate sets of sticks—one standard for my right hand and another with a larger neck and tip for my left hand. This was also not ideal. 
Thanks to my collaboration with Meinl Stick & Brush, I now have a pair of signature sticks that I’ve always dreamed of. Here’s how the pair is constructed: 
For my right hand, I use Meinl's Heavy 5B American Hickory stick. The left-hand stick has the same dimensions as the Heavy 5B but without a taper or tip. It resembles a timbale stick, but in a Heavy 5B version. 
Slimator sticks are both comfortable and durable! 
Thanks to the Slimator Heavy 5B sticks, I can produce a rich and powerful sound on my drums. 
These sticks are truly the best!"
