How Drumsticks Are Made

Shout out to the lady that manually checks the sticks for us. 35 years is a long time to support a huge number of drummers.

Currently using those active grip sticks they are amazing. Pitch match of the sticks are real. Got an old pair of "420 MikePortnoy Signature" sticks with the Majesty logo that I inherited from the friend that taught me drums. He has passed away since and its very nice to have these to remember him. I appreciate what pro-mark does.

It's actually a pretty clear requirement to disclose that information for paid videos. It's entirely possible (and quite likely) that this was not a paid agreement but rather part of a general partnership.

The drum solo excerpts that you play at 0:17-0:38 and at 4:47-6:21 , isn't that Todd Sucherman's drum solo he played in the Drumeo video? If so, it is well picked because he plays Pro-mark sticks (SD330W), and he is an amazing drummer.

[@russellcrawford7453]

Around $10 for a pair of quality sticks nowadays! A few years ago Guitar Center Clearance Center here in Dallas was selling sticks for a dollar a pair. Manny were promark Vader Etc and many were no name on the stick. The stick that I have always preferred to use is a promark double header, it has a bead on both ends and is a perfectly balanced stick for twirling, they do not make them anymore. So I bought at least a hundred pairs of sticks at Guitar Center clearance for a dollar a pair and will acclimate to the cheaper ones because of the price

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

So...a $4,000 drum.kit where you get annoyed by $1.00 warped sticks? :) Just be careful not to destroy them. I use V-drums about half the time and I'm careful. Never broke anything on the kit. Broke one stick in 10+ years. :) That wouldn't be worth it to me at all. :)

Why do you insist on pushing the "background" music to be louder than the speech whenever someone isn't talking? Keep it at almost the same level throughout so it doesn't distract from the message you're trying to convey through the speech.

The wood will not break away before the nylon comes off the stick.....

Now I realized, we drummers are responsible of trees falling down and down and down....we love music but environment is the main inspiration to create music. We have to start caring our environment.....find alternative ways in making instruments and protect our environment.

[@marysue5621]

Promark actually has a program completely devoted to restoring the forests and taking care of the environment. Watch the videos on their channel, specifically the How We Show Our Stripes and the Play Plant Preserve video, they care a lot about nature preservation which is why I have a lot of respect for the company.

[@iohborrngikseh2447]

@Jake Staffin.....that's nice

[@skwark56]

@Iohbor Rngikseh : i can empathize with what you're saying, but compare all the wood used for drum sets and drumsticks over the years since their invention to that of all other industries and uses in the same period: first, for the construction in ALMOST EVERY home in the world; COUNTLESS pieces of furniture in EVERY single home in the world ; and EVERY single paper product and sheet of paper in EVERY corporate office, small business, attorneys offices, courtrooms, small home offices etc., etc. all across the earth ; oh, not to mention all of the paper towels, plates, napkins and butt wipe we've all used in our lifetimes. heck, even now some ice cream makers are starting to use wood pulp in ice cream for texture. while i hope you understand i'm not lashing out at you, i hope also that you understand that i sure don't have any remorse for trees falling down and down and down that were already going to come down anyway for the products i've already mentioned, cuz like the guy in the first half of the video said, the 86% of the log they don't use goes to some other business for their need to sell to people like you and me for our needs. again, i'm with you on protecting the environment, but i have no guilt for the 2 drumsets i have and the several dozens of pairs of sticks i've used in the past 10 years.
