"œAs much as I love my original signature stick for rock gigs and recordings," Gregg explains, "œI found myself wanting and needing a stick that was more of an all-purpose model for the rest of the musical genres I find myself playing within. I am excited to say, we have designed a stick that fits the bill: plenty of front-end weight for power that works for me, not against me. I can play fast passages easily and no matter what style I play, I am able to get a great "˜Backbeat' sound!"
The new Gregg Bissonette "œBackbeat" Signature Stick features a hickory 5B shaft with a front-end loaded neck and tip for a full sound on the bell of the ride. Slip-resistant Vic Grip provides superior hold for a confident backbeat and big drum sounds. This new model is a great all-around stick choice.
"œFirst and foremost, I have a great deal of respect for Vic as a person, percussionist and teacher," says Gregg. "œWhat he has created with this company is nothing short of amazing. I am so glad to say that I have been part of it all, since 1982!"
