The Innovative Percussion CMS-1 Concert Multi-Stick answers the call for a stick that can be used on a host of percussion instruments. With concert percussion literature continuing to evolve and compositional demands not allowing the performer time to use multiple implements, the CMS-1 is crafted not only for concert snare drumming but also for woodblocks and toms cymbals, bass drums, and many other percussion instruments.
The CMS-1 offers the ability to play with both ends of the stick yet maintains a regular drumstick’s balanced feel. The Taj Mahal style bead provides a nice weight to the front of the stick, making sensitive figures effortless with great warmth and response from the instrument.
The butt end features a latex sleeve that provides the performer with a surface that lends itself to an infinite number of percussion instruments, eliminating the need to switch to a different mallet or beater. The possibilities are truly limitless. The CMS-1 should be a staple in every concert percussionist’s stick bag.
