Drumsticks

The 5A Classic is one of the best selling drumsticks. It is suitable for almost every style of music. Many drummers remain loyal to this stick for a lifetime. The Classic 5A is made of the best American hickory and has the classic acorn tip for a nuanced sound on the cymbals.

The Rohema STEP 707 is slim, but has all the power you need. The stick is with 1.38 cm just as strong as a 7A Classic model, but with 41 cm extra long. With this exceptional ratio between diameter and length, the STEP 707 packs an extremely strong punch. In combination with the not too small ball-shaped tip, this drumstick is ideal for powerful grooves on the toms. Heavy American Hickory and the grippy finish make this model popular in all areas of drumming.

We developed the LY 737 - Lytton in the 1980s together with the British jazz drummer Paul Lytton. So it already has almost 40 years on the hump, but is still a good and timeless all-rounder. With its dimensions, the Lytton Drumstick lies roughly between a 5A and 5B Classic. This drumstick's special feature is its strongly tapered shoulder area. Thus, its weight lies mainly in the area of the handle. The LY737 offers a higher rebound and more control for the drummer. A slightly elongated, but still ball-shaped tip provides the right ping!

Rohema's 5A Fusion offers the usual diameter of our classic 5A stick, but is a tad longer. It also has a narrower, longer taper, providing a high rebound and quick response.

The barrel tip sounds incredibly good on the cymbals. Its larger contact surface makes the sound of the 5A Fusion fuller and more open.

The wax-oil finish of the 5A Fusion is applied in a two-stage process, giving the sticks a particularly shiny retro look and very good grip.

For several decades, the Light Rock 5A drumstick was the best-selling stick at ROHEMA. These extraordinary drumsticks, away from classic sizes and dimensions, are still the non-plus-ultra for many drummers today. The Light Rock 5A is slightly longer and stronger in diameter than a Classic 5A stick. With the short taper and the elongated, teardrop-shaped tip, the sticks offer a good weight balance for fast and powerful playing.

The Evolution was developed as part of a research project by Rohema and the Institute for Musical Instrument Making (IfM).

The 5A Evolution has a significantly longer shoulder than the classic 5A Stick. This means that it not only generates much more rebound, but also more speed and drive. IfM's acoustic measurements also showed significantly higher rebound rates compared to the conventional 5A Hickory drumstick. The center of gravity of the 5A Evolution remains absolutely the same, because the end of the stick was rounded. The weight also remains as usual, as the Evolution is made from hickory of a heavier weight class. The higher density of the wood also has a positive effect on the durability of the stick.

The 5AB Classic drumsticks are perfect for those who find the 5A sticks to be too narrow and 5B too thick. They are 5 millimeters longer than a Classic 5A stick and have a slightly beefier shoulder for more head weight and punch. Made from North American Hickory and with an acorn-shaped tip, the 5AB sticks are very flexible.
