Saksalainen Carbostick 5BCTL 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:5B =koko/tyyppi, CT= Classic Tip, eli pään muoto, L=Light weighted, eli soittotuntuma kuten vaahterakapulalla. Mitat: 15,1x405mm.

 The Carbostick 5B Classic Tip Model drumstick is a classical Rock ?N Roll drumstick. The Carbostick 5B CT is, by design, heavier on the front end and thus, possesses more rebound (and a little less control) compared to a 5A or 7A model drumstick. The diameter of the Carbostick 5B CT drumstick is 15.1mm and has a thicker girth than a 5A or 7A model drumstick. The 5B CT drumstick is an ?acquired taste? for more advanced drummers because the 5B produces larger and more frequent rebounds.

The Carbostick 5B CT Model drumstick comes in SIX (6)-different variations! The Carbostick 5B CT is offered in a 5B CT Light weighted drumstick which mirrors the feel of maple wood. The 5B CT Medium weighted stick mirrors the feel of a hickory wood stick. The 5B 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 5B CT spectrum, Carbostick offers each of these three 5B 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 control is only available with our patented processes and utilization of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber out performs wood in Rebound, Control, Balance, Vibration, Speed, Elasticity and Durability. Carbostick manufactures every possible 5B CT variation available for the most discriminating of drummers and percussionists.
