Theres NO DOUBT that these sticks make an impression. Bright red in colour and similar in weight to a 5B profile they are an ideal multipurpose stick. About Adrian: Long Beach California native Adrian Young auditioned for the band No Doubt in 1989 with scarcely one year playing experience to his name, and he landed the gig. Adrian quickly proved himself to be a very solid and creative musician. His infectious rock/ska-flavored rhythms helped No Doubt achieve multiplatinum status with their 1995 major-label release, "Tragic Kingdom." Adrian has been able to masterfully blend his various rock, ska, and punk influences to develop a playing style which compliments his band and serves each song very well. After playing with the Vandals on a 2-week European tour, Adrian spent the better part of 2000 on the road with No Doubt in support of their release "Return of Saturn."
