As Rashid Williams backs a wide variety of artists including John Legend, Jill Scott and his band, Felicity, the need to accommodate a diverse range of music became the driving factor behind designing his signature stick, the RW-1. This model is constructed from white hickory, has a length of 17" and a diameter of .595". These characterists, combined with the bulb-shaped bead, allow the stick to produce full tones and clear cymbal articulations at all dynamic levels.
