For hitting hard, or for marching
The 2B has two audiences. The heavy rock drummer gets the volume and toughness a 5A cannot deliver. The band player gets a stick that carries outdoors and stands up to rehearsal after rehearsal. Vic Firth also recommends it for practice, where you feel its mass on every stroke.
