Saksalainen Carbostick 5ACTL kapula on hiilikuidusta valmistettu ja erittäin luja ja paljon (n. 10 kertaa puuhun verrattuna) SOITTOA kestävä (ei kuitenkaan rautakanki!)  ja se ei rispaannu/nukkaannu lainkaan kuten puinen. Siitä syystä se onkin pitemmän päälle edullisin vaihtoehto. Puukapulan painotus, pomppaaminen kalvosta takaisin, painotus kädessä ym. soittokäyttäytyminen on laboratoriossa tutkittu erittäin tarkasti ja siirretty kaikilta ominaisuuksiltaan Carbostick kapuloihin, vain puukapulan heikkoudet on poistettu, eikä tikut enää lentele kun soitat.

Koodin merkitykset:5A =koko/tyyppi, CT= Classic Tip, eli pään muoto, L=Light weighted, eli soittotuntuma kuten vaahterakapulalla. Mitat: 14,2x405mm.

The most in demand and widely used drumstick the world over is the 5A size drumstick. The 5A is truly a classic drumstick size and is the primary reason why Carbostick has engineered the ultimate 5A drumstick called the 5A Classic Tip (or the 5A CT). Briefly, the 5A designation refers to the drumstick model size and the CT designation refers to the classic tip size. The 5A is so popular because it?s an ?all-around? drumstick that is well suited for nearly every musical style. We at Carbostick pay homage to the longevity of the classic 5A drumstick by offering the 5A CT drumstick in SIX (6)-different ways! When you couple the fact that the 5A CT is the perfect drumstick for Jazz, Pop, and Rock music to the consistency, durability, control, and utility available only from our ?cutting-edge? carbon fiber technology you have the ultimate drumstick known to man! Within each tip size we have three different weights to suit the needs of the most discriminating drummers and percussionists.

The Carbostick 5A CT Model drumstick is offered in a 5A CT Light weighted stick that mirrors the feel of maple wood. The 5A CT Medium weighted stick mirrors the feel of a hickory wood stick. The 5A CT Premium weighted stick mirrors the heavier/more dense feel of Oak wood. In addition to the three different tip sizes and three different weights within the 5A CT spectrum, Carbostick offers each of these three 5A CT variations in the Copper Ink-Rear/Light Balance Point Conformation or the Silver Ink-Front/Heavy Balance Point Conformation. Never before have there been so many choices within one drum stick size and this level of manufacturing control is only available with our patented processes and utilization of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber out performs wood in Rebound, Control, Balance, Vibration, Speed, and Durability. Carbostick manufactures every possible 5A CT variation available for the most discriminating of drummers and percussionists.
