Same dimensions as our standard 5B but with a keg / barrel shaped tip for a defined cymbal articulation.

“The shortened strike faces of the keg tips gave cymbal hits significantly more definition than the acorn tips I compared them to, and they also seemed to open up my toms, allowing extra low-end presence. I found both the 5A and 5B Kegs to be most at home in medium volume situations where lower dynamics could benefit from the boosted mids and lows.” – DRUM! Magazine

"The Keg 5B is the stick I've been looking for for a long time. I've always loved the tone I get from the Fusions, but I love the power and the feel I get from the 5Bs. The Keg 5B to me combines these 2 very important attributes into 1 stick. Now I can get that beautiful cymbal definition but not be afraid to dig in to my shells." - Mike Aveneim

"For amphitheater or arena volumes with Miranda Lambert, the KEG 5B has the handle and velocity sought in a heavier stroke - all with un-compromised cymbal definition." - G. Maxwell Zemanovic [Miranda Lambert]
