Choosing the right drumsticks has a direct impact on tone, dynamics and playing comfort. Factors such as material, weight, tip shape and taper influence rebound, speed and articulation. Leading brands including Vic Firth, ProMark, Rohema and Regal Tip offer a wide range of models – from classic wooden sticks to highly durable carbon or aluminium-core designs.
Just as important as sticks for the hands is the bass drum beater for the pedal. The material and shape – such as felt, plastic or wood – determine attack, warmth and projection. At MUSIC STORE, you will also find signature drumsticks from well-known drummers as well as specialised mallets and brushes for a wide variety of musical applications.
Drumsticks with wood tip represent the international standard. The 5A model made of hickory is considered the most versatile size. Other common sizes such as 7A or 5B differ in length, diameter and weight, allowing drummers to match their sticks precisely to their playing style and musical genre.
Hickory provides a balanced combination of durability and flexibility. Maple is lighter and produces a warmer tone, while oak is denser and extremely durable. Professional sticks are often weight matched and pitch matched, ensuring consistent balance and tonal characteristics within each pair.
Drumsticks with nylon tip combine a wooden shaft with a synthetic tip. This construction delivers a clear and defined cymbal sound with precise articulation, making them ideal for studio work and detailed live performance. Nylon tip sticks are available in all standard sizes and wood types.
Jazz brushes consist of fan-shaped metal or synthetic wires attached to a handle. They allow for subtle dynamic control and are essential in jazz, country and acoustic settings. Metal brushes produce a crisp and cutting tone, while synthetic brushes tend to sound slightly louder and more focused.
Marching drumsticks are thicker and heavier than standard drumsticks in order to generate greater volume outdoors. They provide direct response and control for rudiments and press rolls. Heavier sticks are also popular for practice pad training to improve endurance and speed.
Matching bass drum beaters for marching and orchestral use are available in various materials and hardness levels.
Hot rods are bundles of thin wooden or bamboo dowels that produce a dry, percussive sound at reduced volume. They are ideal for acoustic and unplugged performances or low-volume rehearsals. Many models feature adjustable rings to fine-tune rebound and tonal response.
Bass drum beaters significantly influence attack, punch and overall feel. Felt beaters deliver a classic warm tone, while wood or plastic versions create stronger attack and projection. Duo beaters feature two different striking surfaces, allowing quick tonal changes simply by rotating the beater head.
For percussion and concert applications, MUSIC STORE offers a wide selection of mallets and specialised beaters – from frame drum tippers and cajón brushes to mallets for marimba, xylophone and glockenspiel. In the category Orff mallets, musicians and educators will find models designed for orchestral use and early music education.
