Our StickWorks drumsticks come in four carefully crafted models — designed to meet the needs of almost every drummer.
Not quite sure which model suits you best? Then our recommendation is simple: buy 2–3 different pairs and give them a real shot. Take your time – we suggest using them for at least two weeks before making a decision. Old habits can be hard to break, and sometimes it just takes a little time before you and your new drumsticks truly click.
The most common drumstick models are 7A, 5A, and 5B. Here's a quick breakdown:
The smallest of the three – shortest, lightest, and thinnest. Often chosen by beginners or players who perform at lower volumes. Example: StickWorks 7A is 395 mm long and 13.8 mm thick.
The most versatile and best-selling stick. Works well for all styles and all skill levels. Example: StickWorks 5A is 405 mm long and 14.5 mm thick.
For those who prefer a slightly thicker grip – but not a longer stick. It’s typically a bit heavier than the 5A. Example: StickWorks 5B is 405 mm long and 15.2 mm thick. (That said, the 5A and 5B weigh almost the same in our brand – so 5B is still on the lighter side here.)
You might think we’re exaggerating when we say these are the best drumsticks out there.
But think about it: how many sticks on the market can check off the following boxes?
Top-quality hickory is sourced in the USA and shipped to a factory in Europe. There, the wood is cut into billets and shaped into drumsticks.
Before turning, each billet is weighed and grouped into weight classes. Every 5A stick, for example, comes from the same weight category – resulting in **minimal variation** across pairs.
After shaping and sanding, each stick is coated with a thin layer of finish. It's nearly invisible but penetrates the wood, significantly reducing splintering and increasing longevity.
The finished sticks are stamped with the StickWorks logo and shipped to Denmark.
Every StickWorks pair goes through a set of skilled hands – and ears. The sticks are first sorted by pitch (much like keys on a piano), and then matched by tone, grain structure, and appearance.
Because the weights are already standardized from the raw material stage, we only need to fine-tune the **density** match.
Once paired, the sticks are sleeved, packed, and ready to ship.

B-Selection sticks are made from the same materials as regular StickWorks, but with slight visual or tonal imperfections. You may notice minor knots or slight weight variations – but every stick is 100% straight and still crafted from American hickory. Check out B-Selection drumsticks here.
