Meinl Stick & Brush SB605 - El Estepario Siberiano Signature Stick
Product information "Meinl Stick & Brush SB605 - El Estepario Siberiano Signature Stick"
El Estepario Siberiano and Meinl have collaborated to develop a signature stick that combines many classic elements while being specifically tailored to his versatile abilities at the drum kit – from effortless grooves to incredible techniques you have to see to believe. The result is a stick that marries versatility with speed. It is made from selected US hickory and has a diameter of 0.555" — slightly under a 5A stick. In addition, it is fitted with an acorn tip for its unmistakable cymbal sound. Its overall length of 16.375" combined with a medium-length taper and medium weight gives this stick a unique playing feel on the drums and an extremely fast response on cymbals.
"We spent several months developing the perfect stick that works in every music style. We not only worked on diameter and length to get a balanced weight, but also found the ideal weight for high durability. Now every pair lasts longer than my last marriage. It's not just a drumstick. This is the tool I make my living with, and I trust it with my life."

Meinl Stick & Brush has been an integral part of Meinl's range since 2018 and is characterised by a clear, model-focused line-up that concentrates on the most important models. This makes it easy to quickly find your favourite pair. The sticks are made in Germany from high-quality woods and Weight & Pitch Matched, so that the two sticks of a pair not only weigh the same but also have the same fundamental pitch.
To consistently ensure top quality, the blanks are already weighed before processing begins and assigned to a stick model according to weight—i.e. the model the blank is intended to become. This is what sets Meinl sticks apart in a special way, because this additional step ensures that fluctuations in the wood can be reliably compensated for and two pairs of sticks will exhibit the same characteristics even if they are purchased years apart. This ensures the same playing feel and the same sound for every pair.
The highest quality standards are further guaranteed in the manufacturing process by highly precise CNC turning lathes. In addition to classic drumsticks, the range also includes various unique multirods, brushes and mallets to meet every requirement for dynamics and articulation around percussion and drum kit. Meinl Stick & Brush enjoys the trust of many well-known drummers around the world, including Luke Holland and Calvin Rodgers, who worked closely with Meinl to develop signature sticks now available in the range as SB600 and SB601.
