Sticks and Brushes, Drumsticks

Sticks and brushes determine the feel of playing, the volume, and the character of the strike on drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments. When choosing, consider the material, tip shape, thickness, length, weight, and whether you need precise attack, subtle dynamics, or a quieter alternative to standard drumsticks. In this category you will find basic drumsticks, brushes, hot rods, percussion sticks, and practical accessories.

Choose by sound and technique

Wooden tip drumsticks feel natural and versatile, while nylon tip drumsticks deliver a brighter attack and greater tip durability. For softer playing, jazz, or acoustic setups, use brushes; hot rods offer a quieter and softer response. For congas, bongos, xylophones, and other instruments, choose separate percussion sticks.

Accessories for drumsticks

If your sticks slip or you want to extend their life, grip tapes for drumsticks can help. On stage and in the rehearsal room, you will appreciate drumstick holders, while tapers and replacement tips cover spare parts and small adjustments. Look for broader accessories in the drum accessories category.
