Detail 01
Hickory shaft
Dense and stiff with some shock absorption. The standard marching wood — it survives high-tension heads better than maple.

Innovative PercussionFS-PR2 Paul Rennick Signature Marching Drum Sticks Hickory
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Paul Rennick signature hickory marching snare stick from Innovative Percussion. For marching and indoor drumline players on high-tension heads.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching snare on a high-tension Kevlar head
- Drumline rehearsal where sticks take constant abuse
- Players matching a section to one consistent stick model
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set — marching sticks are too heavy for kit playing
- Young players without the hand strength for a marching stick
- Anyone needing a light stick for quiet concert snare work
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Marching snare stick
Heavier and thicker than a kit stick so it can drive a tight Kevlar head and stay audible outdoors.
Detail 03
Signature model
Built to one instructor's spec, so weight and taper are consistent between pairs — useful when outfitting a whole line.
Detail 04
Wood tip
Wood gives a fuller sound off the head than nylon and chips rather than shearing off when it wears.

Know before you order
- 01Sold as one pair; a full season usually takes several pairs per player
- 02Check with your instructor first — most lines require one specified stick model
- 03Marching sticks are too heavy for drum set; buy separate kit sticks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use marching sticks on a drum set?
You can, but they are heavy and blunt for kit work. They kill cymbals fast and make fast, quiet playing much harder.
02Hickory versus maple for marching?
Hickory is denser and more durable, which matters on high-tension heads. Maple is lighter and faster but breaks sooner in a drumline.
03How long do marching sticks last?
Depends entirely on tension and hours. On Kevlar heads with daily rehearsal, expect to replace them regularly through a season.
04Is this one stick or a pair?
A pair. Sections typically order several pairs per player since marching sticks wear at the shoulder and tip.
