Innovative Percussion ES-1 Ed Soph Signature Drumsticks

Innovative Percussion ES-1 Ed Soph Signature Drumsticks mark the first addition to IP’s Drumset Series, crafted in collaboration with renowned jazz educator Ed Soph. The maple version offers a warm, light-bodied feel, measuring 16⅛″ in length with a .545″ diameter and topped with an acorn-shaped bead that enhances clarity on both drums and cymbals. Performance and Use Case These sticks shine in small groups, jazz combos, and acoustic sessions. The acorn bead ensures precise articulation and tonal clarity, while the maple construction provides a responsive, softer touch.
