I use this X‑Click or Extreme Cross‑Stick Accessory from GRUV-X on my snare, it makes cross sticking so much easier and provides a great more powerful cross stick sound.

The X‑Click or Extreme Cross‑Stick Accessory from GRUV-X, is built from 24 layers of American rock maple with 2 layers of copper, delivering both durability and sonic clarity. It’s designed to fit snares ranging from 10″ (6‑hole) up to 15″ (8‑hole), and includes a pair of mono‑mount brackets for easy installation.

X‑Click or Extreme Cross‑Stick Accessory from GRUV-X produces a sharp, much louder snappy cross‑stick tone without dramatically altering the drum’s core voice. If you do a lot of cross sticking you should have this.


Thanks to its design and included mounting hardware, it’s compatible with most common snare hoop setups. The included brackets make it straightforward to attach to drums between 10"–15" diameter easily.

Constructed from robust materials and easy to install, it’s a tasteful enhancement for players looking to elevate their stick articulation, without compromising the original drum voice.
