High Tack is very sticky. Double the gripping power of Medium Tack. Perfect when you need maximum adhesion (drumstick momentarily clings to overturned palm).
GRIP BETTER. PLAY BETTER.
Musician's POWERgrip Drumstick Grip Wax is specially formulated for drummers. The product improves your grip by making the drumstick sticky. The stickiness prevents slippage. What's the result? Firm control of your instrument. Now you can play with confidence—no more "whoops!" Never worry that your drumsticks will slip from your grasp again.
Use anytime you need a firm dependable grip, particularly summer and winter.
- Summer: when hot humid air makes your hands wet and slippery.
- Winter: when dry air makes hands slick as cardboard.
WHAT MAKES THIS TRADITIONAL BEESWAX AND ROSIN SO SPECIAL?
Musicians have used beeswax as a grip enhancement aid throughout the ages. Some century ago (don't know when exactly), a resourceful musician mixed sticky tree sap into the beeswax and discovered it gave them an even better grip. Enterprising folks have been making grip products from beeswax and rosin ever since. Here's what sets our product apart from the rest:
FIRST, we source hard-to-find superior quality American made natural ingredients that are second to none.
SECOND, we take those precious ingredients and blend them into a grip enhancing compound—formulated specifically for drummers.
THIRD, and this is important: we tweak that formulation and craft it into solid rub blocks featuring not just one, not two—but three levels of grip strength.
What's more, each solid rub block is nestled carefully inside a handy twist-open jar that tucks away conveniently in your pocket or gig bag. This adds up to the best traditional beeswax and rosin grip product you can buy.
Okay, so it's just beeswax and rosin. Well, maybe not "just" beeswax and rosin. After all, you won't find a finer quality beeswax and rosin grip product anyplace else. (Don't take our word for it, go look for yourself.) Sure, beeswax and rosin has been the preferred gripping aid for generations of players. But premium quality or not, beeswax and rosin ain't for everyone. Still, for musicians who like the stuff, there is no better brand.
HOW IT WORKS
Rub a few lines of grip wax along drumstick. Reacts to body heat. Reapply as needed.
CHOOSE THE GRIP STRENGTH THAT SERVES YOU BEST
Musician's POWERgrip offers Drumstick Grip Wax at three tack levels. No other company offers three tack levels. So now, for the first time, you can get drumstick grip wax at the tack strength that works best for you.
SUPERIOR BEESWAX
This product is composed of premium quality cosmetic grade triple filtered virgin capping beeswax produced by American beekeepers. The soft sticky capping wax is made by bees from thin layers of wax and propolis (aka bee glue, especially prized for its anti-bacterial and wound healing properties). Capping wax is a unique natural substance (and "secret" ingredient) that gives our grip wax its firmer more "grippier" grip.
Beware of "Organic" Beeswax
Organic beeswax? Really? We have yet to find a beekeeper in the U.S. that produces organic beeswax. The only organic beeswax we've ever seen is imported. So if your grip product claims to be made from organic beeswax, then caveat emptor. Because if a product is made with organic beeswax you can reasonably assume two things: 1. The wax is imported. 2. The quality is suspect.
SUPERIOR ROSIN
Infused into our premium quality beeswax is rosin. But not any ol' rosin. The rosin we procure comes from a small family-owned operation in southeast Georgia that's been refining pine tree products for nearly a hundred years. This environmentally conscious "green" business produces 100% pure natural pine rosin—with absolutely no additives—derived from their own sustainably managed trees. What's not to like.

WHY DOES SKIN COLOR RANGE FROM LIGHT TO DARK ON JAR LABELS?
Just a creative way to celebrate our cultural diversity. Also, as luck would have it, and although it's barely noticeable, the higher the tack level the darker the wax. So depicting the hands from lighter to darker reflects the complexion of the product—as well as our customers.
CLEANING TIP
Swirl a few drops of dish soap, water, and vegetable oil (or peanut butter) in palm. Rub hands together. Rinse.
