He is Xavier Naidoo's groove master and musical director, plays for the Söhne Mannheims, and is considered one of the world's best clinicians of his time. Ralf Gustke understands how to play incredibly complex grooves, yet subtly and tastefully, like no other. His hi-hat patterns demand incredible precision from his sticks. Therefore, Ralf, together with Vic Firth, developed a stick that is precisely tailored to his needs. The stick reproduces cymbal sounds with definition and also has enough power to hold its own on the large stages where Ralf is at home.
