An exciting drumstick set to redefine the industry.
Award-winning product designer Robert Wilhelm has teamed up with Kingfield Wood Products, former manufacturer of Vic Firth drumsticks, to create a very natural-feeling, ergonomic drumstick that feels and looks like no other sticks on the market.
Hornets drumsticks offer an ergonomic, contoured handle and proprietary rubber o-rings designed to relieve forearm pressure and reduce shock to the wrist. Made from first quality American hickory and hard rock maple, HORNETS drumsticks fit comfortably in the hand to function as a natural extension of the drummer's arm.
Features
- Contoured handle helps reduce forearm tension
- O-rings help reduce vibration
- O-rings work on cymbals as a mallet
- Improved grip for reduced slippage
- Pitch-paired
Once you're stung by Hornets you won't want to play anything else! Order today.

I have been playing drums and percussion for 27 years and feel someone may be able to use my input here. I bought a pair of Hornets 7A's and two pairs of their 'dowel rods' called Swarm Sticks last October. I primarily play in small venues that require me to keep the energy up and maintaining good drum tone while holding back on the decibels. There is something about the feel of these sticks that helps minimize wrist fatigue and give a sense of over-all control. They are very comfortable and have a unique balance unlike anything I have used.They are about a half inch shorter than the Vater 7a's that I have used over the last decade and a half but it hasn't been hard getting used to the difference. They really become an extension of your arm.The Swarm sticks are very useful as I use this type of stick weekly and am always on the lookout for new tools to use. No other dowel rod has this comfortable of a grip. I would like to see a version even lighter than what is available soon.They have very cool colors and the rubber rings on the ends can get a decent cymbal swell going with a little aim and practice. The only thing I have had an issue with is that the color on the handles leaves them a bit too slick and they do not absorb any hand moisture like a natural stick. Over-all; Very good idea. Great easy feel. Looking good! Hornets: How about some even lighter Swarms!?

These sticks jumped out at me and i thought hey why not give them a shot, i payed way too much to have them just split right in half in a couple of days. They cramped my hands up and didnt do anything they said that they would.
These sticks in theory are a good idea, however i did not find any sort of balancing and the shape made my hands cramp more than just plain sticks would.
Both sticks split in half down the middle in the same exact way after using them for about 3 hours, and my drums are made to be very loud so i don't even hit very hard.
I wouldn't ever pay this much for sticks again.

Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
I've been playing drums for over 10 years. I've tried hundreds of sticks. These are by far the best I've ever used. At first, like most people I thought it was a gimmick. But there is no gimmick here. After playing with these sticks for 2 or 3 months I tried using regular sticks. I couldn't do it, my wrists and hands started hurting after 5 minutes. But with these sticks I feel as if I could play for hours. They are very comfortable. There odd at first but if you give them a chance, youll love them. Also, the side of the stick with the o rings works amazingly well for cymbal swells.
Hope this helped.
Try at least 1 pair.

Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
great stick! always had a little trouble holding on to stick,these help me alot.
Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
a little too many gimmicks going on. I like the rubber o-rings and the slight flange on the butt. the paint is cool and i dig the colors. unfortunately i can't get comfortable with the hump at the fulcrum, and I don't want to change my grip to deal with one stick cause I play several different styles...brushes, mallets, timbale sticks, etc.
Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
Really happy with these sticks and their use. So far so good:)
I love these sticks! They fit well in my hands, it's just painted, not rubberized where the hands go and the rubber rings on the bottom of the stick take out vibrations and can be used for mallots on the cymbals. My new favorite:)

Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
I bought a pair of 5A's and a pair of 7A's, the 7's broke rather quickly but I've always had problems with breaking sticks. The 5's on the other hand are still going strong. As far as feel and playability goes nothing beats them and I will never buy any other sticks ever again. (just stick to the fatter ones)
Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
In the description it says that these sticks are a "very natural-feeling, ergonomic drumstick that feels and looks like no other sticks on the market." This is true, they do feel very nice and balanced and they come in pretty much any color and style that would fit any drummer's personality... However, the quality is poor, and I'm not talking about wearing down fast and chipping. Within the first day of using these sticks, one of them had split in two. From just under the head of the stick down to about where the dye starts. The next day, no-kidding, the other stick did the same thing... Now I guess I tend to hit a bit hard, and I may have had some sticks from a bad batch, but the price you pay for these things should either be for a better quality stick or come with some kind of warrenty... Other wise I would only use them with a practice pad or an electric drum kit.
Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
Sure I would like to buy these sticks for $5 a pair, but that's not going to happen. Try a pair and you'll see why we all like them so much.. These are my go to sticks for any style of drumming technique needed.
Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
i really love these sticks. i have two pair both 3 years old. i play anything from blues to heavy metal so these sticks have been through a beating, they are a bit on the more expensive side but have never had another pair of sticks last even close to that long
Comments about Hornets Drumsticks:
I have been drumming for over 30 years. These are the best sticks I've ever used. The ergonimic design feels super in my hands and gives me a supior grip. I also like the round tips. I've had my current pair for nearly a year (maybe more, I don't recall exactly when I bought them). I agree with another post, once you try these, you'll never go back.
