Types of Wood for Drumsticks
Different types of woods for drumsticks will fluctuate in price depending upon availability. Contact for pricing on specialty woods.

Charles & Frederick, which made drums in the Civil War, August, His Grandfather, Harry, his father - was mentioned in Moeller's Book -Joseph of NARD fame, Elmer and Uncle Doc, also drummer uncles.
