Drumbitz Europe are the UK Distributor of HORNETS Drum Sticks. Dealer Enquires should be made here sales@drumbitzeurope.com The basic concept behind the HORNETS design is to combine art with ergonomic and functional superiority. To that end, we have incorporated a number of functional benefits into the design of the stick:

•Contoured handle fits more naturally into the shape of the hand than does a straight piece of wood.   • Raised handle allows the thumb to relax, reducing strain on the forearm tendon and simultaneously increasing stamina.   • Patented use of o-rings reduces vibration and shock to the wrist, decreasing the risk of the long-term injuries so many drummers have to deal with (Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis, etc.)   • O-rings act as an excellent grip. When the hand becomes sweaty, sticks can get away from you, but our o-rings will catch your hand and prevent the stick from slipping.   • Using the butt end of the sticks on cymbals creates a mallet-like effect perfect for cymbal rolls.   • Because of the o-rings, you always know exactly where your hand is on the stick without ever having to look down.

Here is what HORNETS have to say about their sticks...

Award-winning product designer, Robert Wilhelm, has teamed up with Kingfield Wood Products, former manufacturer of Vic Firth drumsticks, to create an exciting new drumstick set to redefine the industry.

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.

We believe that drumsticks, like anything, contain inherent artistic value, and we are eager to share our artistic vision with you. We hope you enjoy playing with the HORNETS™ drumsticks as much as we have enjoyed designing them.
