The Avedis Zildjian Company launched a new series of drumsticks called the 'Gauge Series'. Besides the two new cymbal lines the company from Norwell, MA found the time to extend their drumstick catalog as well. The Gauge sticks are designed for all styles of music where each of the four models has a different diameter. However, the length, taper, and the new fusion-style tip shape are the same on all the models. The fusion-style tip is a hybrid between an acorn tip and round tip.
