WHYHICKORY?

North American Hickory is the gold standard for drumstick wood — and for power players, nothing comes close. It's dense enough to take a beating night after night, tough enough to handle hard hitters, and consistent enough that every pair feels exactly the same in your hands.

Our 5B Long is built for drummers who need more — more power, more projection, more durability. The 0.59" diameter and short taper give you a front-weighted feel that puts force behind every hit without sacrificing control.

BUILT FOR HARD HITTERS

01
More Power Per Hit

The 0.59" diameter gives you more mass behind every stroke. Rock, metal, or high-energy gospel — the 5B delivers the force you need without breaking down.

02
Short Taper = Front-Weighted Feel

The short taper pushes weight toward the tip, giving you a punchy, front-loaded response. More power behind every hit without extra effort from your wrists.

03
Round Tip = Focused Tone

Round wooden tips produce a clear, articulate sound across drums and cymbals. Clean attacks, consistent definition — every single time you hit.

04
Built to Survive

North American Hickory is dense, tough, and shock-absorbent. These sticks are made for drummers who play hard and need gear that keeps up.

05
Balanced Despite the Weight

At 4.5 oz per pair, these sticks are heavier than a 5A but won't feel sluggish. The balance point keeps you in control even during the hardest sessions.

06
Extended Reach

At 16.33", the 5B Long gives you more reach across wider kit setups. Perfect for drummers who need to cover more ground without sacrificing power.

At 4.5 oz per pair, the 5B is heavier than a 5A but still very playable for long sessions. The hickory absorbs shock well, reducing wrist fatigue. If you're used to a 5A and switching up, give yourself a session or two to adjust — you won't go back.
Hickory sits in the sweet spot. Maple is lighter and faster but breaks more easily under hard play. Oak is extremely dense but heavy. Hickory gives you the perfect balance of strength, density, and shock absorption — which is exactly why it's the most widely used drumstick wood in the world.
