About

Our Story

Fort Rocks sticks are manufactured with premium select USA hickory. We focus on producing straight, well-balanced sticks. Just the right amount of weight is used in the neck and shoulder of the stick, minimizing warpage and breakage and increasing your security. Nylon tips are turned, not molded like other brands and are priced the same as the wood tips. The most discriminating drummers will recognize Fort Rocks for their guaranteed straight and evenly matched pairs! Finally, a stick you can depend on. Be secure, and play Fort Rocks.

Drum Sticks


We concentrate on producing straight, well-balanced sticks. In fact, each stick is rolled and balance tested before it leaves the factory. Our shape design adds just the right amount of weight to the neck and shoulder area of the stick, minimizing warpage and breakage. We manufacture all sticks from select USA hickory. Nylon tips stay on these sticks! They are turned to the sticks, not molded and punched on. All sticks are also computer tested for pitch matching.
