Creating the perfect stick has become legacy...

Every musician knows the frustration of playing with mass-produced drum sticks—those generic options that fail to bring out the unique sound and feel they crave. John Crocken, a passionate drummer, once faced the same challenge in his quest for the perfect sticks. He realized that musicians deserve better; they deserve quality gear that inspires creativity. This belief shaped John's mission to offer a solution that would transform every drummer's experience. 

Having apprenticed with the legendary Buck Soistman in his Rolling Drum Shop, John inherited a legacy of excellence in drum craftsmanship. The Soistman lineage spans back to the Civil War, with a commitment to creating exceptional musical instruments. Guided by this rich history and motivated by his own experiences, John set out to design custom-made drum sticks that would not only enhance play but also elevate the overall drumming experience. 

With decades of experience and performance under his belt—from serving in the Army band to dazzling audiences alongside A-list celebrities and Broadway musicals—John harnessed his skills to infuse every pair of sticks with superior craftsmanship and an unrivaled ethos. 

He understood the frustration that musicians face when they can't find the right sticks. This empathy drives him to create products that deliver quality and inspire creativity. 

Now, drummers everywhere are discovering the transformative power of John Crocken Persimmon Drum Sticks.
