I sell Drum sticks and mallets that come in a wide range of sizes and materials. Here’s how it works with wood choice for sticks: Most drum sticks are made of hickory maple or oak. Hickory is the most common wood type and is very dense; maple is light and ideal for soft fast-playing; and oak is durable and heavier than hickory. Maple : softer wood; bounces more, but breaks more easily; tips are a bit softer sounding once broken in and use maple for lighter gigs like jazz or R&B. Hickory : more durable than maple; not as much bounce as maple; tends to splinter rather than break. Best all around wood for durability/bounce, use these for rock and funk gigs. Oak: most durable wood for sticks; much less bounce though; because it’s more dense, vibrations travel more into your hands/wrists than with hickory or maple.

Drum sticks can be either wooden or nylon-tipped in a variety of shapes. Wood tips produce a warm sound while nylon tips are more durable and deliver a distinct tone. In the 1970s, an acetal tip was introduced. Tips of whatever material are of various shapes, including acorn, barrel, oval, teardrop, pointed and round. The shoulder of the stick is the part that tapers towards the tip, and is normally slightly convex. It is often used for playing the bell of a cymbal. It can also be used to produce a cymbal crash when applied with a glancing motion to the bow or edge of a cymbal, and for playing ride patterns on china, swish, and pang cymbals. The shaft is the body of the stick, and is cylindrical for most applications including drum kit and orchestral work. It is used for playing cross stick and applied in a glancing motion to the rim of a cymbal for the loudest cymbal crashes. The butt is the opposite end of the stick to the tip. Some rock and metal musicians use it rather than the tip.

Drum sticks are traditionally assigned with a number and letter based on their application and size. As for the letter it indicates the stick's application You’ll typically see one of four possible letters on a drumstick – A, B, S or D. A and B are by far the most common, whereas S and D are a bit more traditional. A (orchestra) is the lightest type of stick out there. This was the type of drumstick used in an orchestra, but nowadays is used in a wide range of musical styles. B (band) is a medium weight stick – this kind of drumstick was used in concert bands. In more modern music, they make a great choice for rock drummers and people who are playing with a louder band. S (street) is a heavyweight stick – in a more traditional setting you’d use this stick in a marching band. It’s not as common to see this kind of stick out and about these days. D (dance) is also nowadays a bit of an oddity, but was traditionally used in big band dance bands.

The stick's circumference is signified by its number - the higher the number the smaller the circumference. Now let’s choose a number for your stick. The smaller the number, the thicker the stick. The larger the number, the thinner the stick. A stick with the number 7 would be pretty thin, whereas a stick with the number 2 would be pretty chunky. The most common numbers you’ll see on a stick are 2, 3, 5 and 7 – though there are also other possibilities out there. 5 is considered the standard choice in the drumming world – so it’s a great place to start. One strange exception to the numbering system is that a number 1 stick is longer, not thicker. So just keep the general rules in mind. The most common drumstick sizes are

5A – A medium weight and length stick, the standard choice

3A – A bit heavier and longer than a 5A, for jazz fusion music, light rock and world music

5B – A thicker stick for rock, hard Rock and Heavy Metal drumming and louder situations

2B – A very thick stick for super loud power drumming, and practice pads

7A – A light stick – the standard choice for jazz and softer styles

8D – A longer version of the 7A, slightly more power and reach

1A – The longest stick for best reach around the kit
