What's 1/2" longer than a 2B and made of Maple?

Well, I don't know. Can you help?

 

[joeysnare]

a rather smallish maple tree?

I lol'd, but that's actually the kind of stick I'm looking for. That or a slightly-skinnier hickory version.

Just TRY Regal Tip Alex Van Halen. Hickory. It has the length you desire and is thinner than a 2B.

Vater Concert. 16-1/2" long, .630 dia, maple, wood or nylon tip.

Be careful before you buy these, theyre 18" long (2B's is probably 16", Vic Firth's is 16.25") so the feel may not be exactly what you're looking for. Unless you choke up on the sticks a lot. Either way I would want to try them out before buying them.

I tried the Van Halen sticks on a whim, and they're truly bizarre-feeling. Even if you choke up on them the center of balance is in such a weird place they never felt comfortable to me.

The AVH sticks are actually 17 3/4".......maybe slightly longer but not 18".

Pro Mark has the Maple SD23 Dennis DeLucia Sticks that are L: 16.75" and D: .650"
Vater has the Maple Power 5B that are L: 16 1/2" D: .610" in addition to the concert that's already been mentioned.
Regal Tip also has the Saul Goodman Maple Model # SGMW Which is L: 17" D: .635"
