Special Jazz - hickory drumsticks

Why use our drumsticks for jazz?

With its standard length (406 mm) and 13.6 mm diameter (the same as a 7A), it offers a natural feel and great playability.

Its teardrop tip ensures soft attacks and beautiful articulation on the cymbals.

A great, timeless classic for light, subtle, and expressive playing.

Why do jazz drummers use thinner drumsticks?

Jazz drummers generally prefer thinner sticks because they offer more precision, lightness, and nuance in their playing. Unlike rock or metal, jazz relies heavily on dynamics, touch, and expressiveness.

Thinner sticks allow for:

• better control on ride cymbals;

• softer attacks;

• more precise articulation;

• more fluid and fast playing;

• less fatigue during long sessions.

Their reduced weight also facilitates techniques typical of jazz, such as natural rebound, ghost notes, or subtle variations in intensity.

Jazz drummers often look for a more airy and nuanced sound. A thick stick would produce more powerful hits, sometimes too aggressive for this musical style.

At ProOrca, our hickory jazz sticks maintain this lightness while offering excellent durability and a rebound perfectly suited for playing on cymbals and the snare drum.
