Detail 01
Hickory
Denser and stiffer than maple, so it survives rimshots and heavy marching tension without feeling whippy.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these work on a drum set?
They will play, but marching snare sticks are heavy and thick. Set playing gets tiring and cymbals take a beating.
02Hickory or maple for marching?
Hickory. It is denser and takes the impact of high-tension marching heads far better than lighter maple.
03How many sticks come in this?
One pair. Drumlines usually buy multiple pairs per player for a season.
04Do these fit a whole line?
They can if the line standardizes on this model. Matching sticks keep weight and rebound consistent across players.
