I use this on my snare, it makes cross sticking so much easier and provides a great sound.

The GXGRVXCLBS, often referred to as the X‑Click or Extreme Cross‑Stick Accessory, 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.

GRUV‑X Hoops Cross Stick Extension (GXGRVXCLBS) accessory produces a sharp, snappy cross‑stick tone without dramatically altering the drum’s core voice. “if you do a lot of cross sticking, I think it’s great to have.


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.
