Choosing maple and oak drumsticks

Use a familiar profile as a comparison

Vic Firth’s Heritage line uses maple in profiles carried over from its American Classic line. If you know how an American Classic model fits, match the published dimensions first, then consider the maker’s description of the change in feel.

Read the taper of a narrower stick

ProMark’s PW5AW oak 5A is 0.551 inches wide and 16 inches long. The maker pairs it with a short taper and describes a forward feel. A narrow grip can coexist with more weight toward the tip.

Department questions

Can I infer the weight from the species?

Check for a published weight or compare pairs directly. Diameter, taper and model construction also affect what you feel in the hand.

Which two products isolate the wood change most closely?

Compare the American Heritage AH5A with the hickory American Classic 5A. Vic Firth publishes the same length, diameter, taper and tip shape for the two.

What if my grip feels too narrow but I still want maple?

Compare the documented grip diameter across maple models. The Heritage 5B has a larger published diameter than the Heritage 5A.
