GOT QUESTIONS?
The Red Rock It is specifically engineered for marching percussion. It's longer at 17", heavier at 5 oz, and wider at 0.728" diameter than a standard drumstick. That extra size gives you the projection and power you need for outdoor performances, stadium settings, and high-intensity rehearsals.
Absolutely. The Red Rock It's short taper gives a forgiving, front-weighted feel that's easy to control while still delivering the power marching percussion demands. Great for students learning proper technique and experienced drummers who need a reliable stick for the field.
They work great for both. The round wood tip gives you a clean, articulate sound on snares and practice pads whether you're on the field or in a rehearsal room. Many indoor percussionists also use them for their practice pad work between sessions.
Hickory absorbs shock better than any other common drumstick wood — critical for marching percussionists who play at high intensity for extended periods. It's durable enough to handle repeated hard hits and light enough to keep you from fatiguing during long rehearsals and competitions.

These sticks feel great! They are honestly better than any other stick I’ve used so far. Y’all got it for sure!
Great sticks
LOOOVVVEEEDDD, these marching sticks! Bulky, yet light. A+ for me!
I got these sticks from the gracious recommendation of Steve-O the founder! And I went by what he said. He contacted me because I placed a large “variety “ order! I’m glad I did that order because now I have a nice conglomeration of “Woodies! (Of course I have my share of years of using Vic’s) So, immediately when I picked up the “Red Rocker’s” [Yes I’m a Sammy fan] —I loved the feel. The balance is awesome especially practicing snare with hats. Secretly, I confess I now carry a set of Red Rocker’s around with me everywhere I go! I’ll find something to drum! Also the added length and girth makes hitting the floor Tom’s so much easier. And, because of the Red Rock —It design, the Tom’s gain an entirely different tone; kinda between a timpani mallet (deeper) and an a sharp snap like any brand 2b. Every Drummer should own a pair!
I have been playing marching percussion for around 48 years even in the highly competitive Drum Corps scene. Having a great pair of sticks that are balanced and well made makes all the difference in the world out on the field. These sticks are excellent.
The sticks were easy to use,they are smooth when I roll on the drum pad it’s smooth overall it’s a 10/10 y’all must buy!
Great stick Nice weight and rebound only flaw is the paint chips very easy other wise the stick is awesome in the a way to get a sponser for my team
The weight and balance on these sticks is perfect! They feel great and sound great! I have used "PM" and "VF" for years, but they have now retired!
These are perfect! So smooth and balanced who could ask for ANYTHING else!I love them. Thank you WOODIES
I have my upper battery using Woodies sticks. I have given them lots of choices from the big 3 plus Woodies. On their own, they gravitate to the Red Rock Its. I have yet to tape them. They have lasted a competition, football game, and 2 weeks of practices and sectionals. Durability isnt a question. They sound great. They feel like a cross of ScoJos (for velocity), Rennicks for control and Carters for response.
Only sticks we are playing with from here on out great feeling.
Weight, balance, feel is a 10/10
Ordered the woodies marching sticks after seeing an ad online. Running a drumline for a high school, we go through some sticks and I like to see what else is out there besides promark/vicfirth. Plus being the same nickname as our school (Woodstown Woodies) it was pretty cool. They're very well balanced and weighted. The texture is nice and they have some great playability. I let the kids on the drumline take them for a spin and they were a hit.
I'd like to know if the company offers endorsements?
Need to try these!!
I was looking for a stick to build my chops and to practice rudiments and the like. Nicely weighted, nicely proportioned, and sturdy enough for decades of work (maybe I won't rimshot them to oblivion!).
These sticks feel great! Will have to order more!!
Some of the greatest sticks on the market
I'm a metal drummer and play woodies, so this was an easy choice. Got them for my Daughter who's a percussionist in marching band. She absolutely loves them! Her band teacher and classmates all thought they were the coolest as well. She says they feel great and look great too.
Awsome feel with the Red Rock its , Feel super nice. Paint can chip off sometimes but tape fixes that.
They are just so perfect
These sticks seem pretty solid! I haven’t played much or bought many pairs in years but compared to an old unused, “name brand” pair I have for decoration, they seem a little lighter. Nothing some tape can’t fix, if I decide it’s needed. I thought about getting a couple pairs for my kids HS drumline but didn’t think the name of the marching sticks would go over well with the directors.
Amazing Drum Sticks! Heavy Duty Sticks! Best Built sticks I've ever played.
I am getting back into drumming after many years of "not enough time". Self taught so far, but am interested in starting lessons . The sticks i bought from Woodies are just what I needed. I purchased 3 pair of the marching sticks and a lighter pair. The marching sticks remind me of how long i have to go with practicing... lol. Quite the workout!! Excellent sticks. Buy them... you won't be disappointed!
Amazing sticks!!!
Good weight balance good looking well made
Great balance, they feel great in my hands and im in love with the design. Amazing product.
Big and heavy, if that’s what you are looking for, this is it
Currently still using them now to get a deal with them for my drum line (Faiths Place Center for Arts and Education) But so far so good!
Good sticks. Heavy feel.
Good sticks
Love these sticks! Would definitely buy again !!
I’m about to buy the same sticks as in my first order.
Nice!
These feel and play amazing
Definitely a great feel and the way the drums sounds with these sticks are awesome. A lot of other sticks have a hollow sound. These sticks remind me of the old school patriot marching sticks. Sticks are even like other sticks one is heavy the other is hollow. I hope woodies stick around.
Love these sticks! Brings back memories of a time when I played in the High School Band. Good balance and just a great pair of sticks.
Amazing sticks!
These are great for chopping it up. Weighted perfectly feel good in your hands and as good if not better than the big names.
