Go with the olive tips on these 3drumsticks sticks for
a versatile drum and cymbal sound in almost any playing situation. Or try nylon tips for even brighter textures.
With
this DW set, drummers get a set of 3 sticks instead of two. This means there's an extra pro-quality, perfectly matched drumstick
always there. No matter what type of music, 3 drumsticks provide the balance, feel, and performance to get the job done in
the studio or on stage. Best of all, each stick is rigorously tested in four ways:
- Laser-tested for straightness
- Weight-matched
- Pitch-matched
- Balance-matched
After
testing, each DW stick is printed with its unique characteristics, right on the stick. This is proof positive that every stick
has been properly matched as a set. So why go to such great lengths to ensure quality? Because when you make serious, professional-quality
sticks, you want the world to know it. DW measures quality one stick at a time in their factory.
It's the only way
DW can ensure that every set of 3 drumsticks is the best it can be. It all starts with the wood. Each stick is born from only
the finest hand-selected U.S. hickory, and only wood that meets DW's strict moisture content standards makes the cut. From
there, wood dowels are lathed to exacting specifications and undergo a three-step sanding process. Once sanded smooth, they
are primed and finished with DW's proprietary satin-lacquer process. The result is a natural feel that most drummers prefer.

Drumsticks is born from the desire to create more advanced, drummer-friendly products. It's simply part of the Drum Workshop
philosophy; a fresh idea can oftentimes reshape the way we look at something as familiar as a drumstick.
So when DW
decided to make drumsticks, it took DW's 35 years of experience as one of the world's leading drum, pedal, and hardware manufacturers
and applied it to creating a revolutionary new concept in the marketplace. The result is 3 drumsticks.
Interestingly
enough, the initial inspiration for offering sticks as sets rather than traditional pairs was secondary. DW's primary focus
was on making the highest-quality all-hickory drumstick available today, and to do so meant DW had to invest resources in
some very advanced and proprietary quality-control equipment. DW's years of working with wood told the company that it would
have to match sticks by weight and also check them for straightness, but as DW delved deeper, it decided to pitch-match them
for consistency, and also do something no other manufacturer had done before-balance-match them. In this way, DW could determine
whether the stick would be heavier in the front or back. After all, holding a drumstick and playing drums is all about balance.
When it was all said and done, DW had developed a rather precise four-step matching process. After that, DW decided to take
it one step further and actually print the results of that process on each stick. This was also rather unconventional, but
proof positive that DW had done its job.
Once DW had decided to go the extra mile to match each set, the company wondered
what would happen with the harder-hitting players that often break sticks. Sure, DW's sticks are made from the highest-grade
U.S. hickory, but DW knew that some drummers can really dish out the abuse. So, DW decided to throw in a spare. After all,
you wouldn't leave the house without a spare tire on your car, would you?
DW's final challenge was to decide on the
feel of the stick. Should the company go with a high-gloss lacquer or a completely raw, unfinished stick? Knowing drummers
are serious about feel and that their musical creativity is translated from stick to drum-set, DW developed a special priming
and lacquering process that completely seals the stick while still achieving an extremely natural feel.
The best part
is that DW does it all in its factory in Ensenada, Mexico. DW is in control of design, manufacturing, and quality every step
of the way. Add to that exceptional value and a groundbreaking new technology and you have 3 drumsticks. Once you play a set
of 3 drumsticks, DW believes you'll agree, three is the new pair.
