I mentioned on my previous sticks description that Frank Thill has been a big inspiration to my crafting but I have to admit that Ondrej Smeykal is more responsible for this one, the very carefully crafted conical graduation of the bore giving excellent balance and incredible control, and the very thin walls up top for responsiveness. This is probably the easiest B you'll ever lay your lips too, it plays with more of the characteristics of an E, willing to absolutely shred or take it very easy. You can very easily pressure up to the trumpets making them seamless in faster rhythms and the overblown is powerful but well matched and so makes into a nice kick drum for them diaphragm slaps.
