I found this mark the end of 2006 through a shop in Germany or the brand is very popular. This brand is not yet distributed in France then notice to importers.

I tried a model germany Hickory 5B. He lasted as long as my usual Vic Firth. Since then, I got an endorsement and is a model in my name.
The price is lower than the best known brands.

Feel free to try and buy a few models on the site, you will not be disappointed (e) s.
