"The new ActiveGrip feels like a regular hickory drumstick at the start of the show, and gets tackier when my hands start sweating. It's an absolute breakthrough in grip. Plus, the WaveHandle design adds an additional contoured grip that also works as its own sound source. I've always dreamed of a drumstick like this, and I'm proud to share it with other drummers that demand the ultimate grip without sacrificing feel."

The ActiveGrip and the WaveHandle are both invented by D'Addario. The Glenn Kotche Active Wave 570 drumstick made its debut at Summer NAMM 2015 and is available since August 1, 2015. Pricing will be around $ 14 USD for a pair.
