As indicated in a Zildjian brochure of the period, “Marc's original DIP model, the 'Salsa' Timbale Stick is great for Latin and World percussion. Zildjian's exclusive DIP coating provides excellent grip for carefree playing. The smaller diameter and extra length allows for quick rhythms and gives the percussionist great reach in all percussion set-ups.”
