Here a rough scale: 7a - a good stick for light jazz. 5a -jazz, light rock. 5b - good all rounder for rock, rehearsals and for practice. 2a - rock and to practice somewhat heavier material. 2b - ideal for heavy rock. Between them there is a multitude of models; the characteristics differ depending on the make.
