Why is the choice of sticks crucial?

Your drumsticks aren't just a piece of wood: they're an extension of your hands. They must ring, respond instantly, and last the distance. Here are the criteria that count:

1. The material

Wood makes all the difference. Hickory remains the star: sturdy, comfortable in the hand, it absorbs shocks and prevents you from ending up with burning hands after a rehearsal.

2. Size and weight

Heavy sticks? More power, but watch out for fatigue. Light? Perfect for speed and finesse... as long as you don't break them. The secret is the right balance for YOUR playing.

3. The ProOrca choice

At ProOrca, we manufacture 100% French-made drumsticks, designed for demanding drummers. From weight to grip, we work on every detail for perfect balance and performance that lasts.
