Our flagship all-rounder. Balanced, articulate, and at home in any room.

Slightly heavier than the 5A with a fuller cymbal voice. The studio go-to.

The thumper. Fire-tempered for grip, designed for rock, metal and big rooms.

A touch longer than a 5A — extra reach for big kits and ride-heavy players.

Featherlight maple for quiet rooms, brushwork transitions and church gigs.

Long, slim, fast — built for fusion, gospel and finger-control workouts.

All the geometry of our 5A in lighter maple. Quick rebound, soft attack.

Dense, hard, and unforgiving — a stick that asks you to mean every hit.

Retractable steel wire brushes with a comfortable rubber grip and metal end-cap.

Soft nylon bristles for a warm sweep and a longer working life than wire.

Medium-firm felt heads on a turned maple shaft — tom rolls and floor builds.

Yarn-wrapped heads for cymbal swells, gongs and orchestral colour.

A signature pair, hand-engraved with your name, in a hinged maple presentation box.

One 5A, one 5B and one 7A — the kit-bag essentials in a single canvas roll.
We build custom pairs from spec sheets — length, diameter, taper and tip shape. Ten-pair minimum.
