Life's biggest questions are usually answered by the likes of David Attenborough, but we like to think that when it comes to wood, in the shape of drumsticks, we got this. Which one will be the undefeated champion? Maple, Hickory or Oak?
We always struggle with drumsticks. We break them all the time and we are always in the search of the perfect pair that won't break easily when we hit rim shot, or the cymbals. We did 4 different tests to see which ones are more durable.

yall really did 2,257 rimshots for this
2257 hits to 732 that's insane.
The amount of quality in this video is insane. You guys deserve much more! Keep rockin'
Great content! Would love to see more creative contents like this in the near future from your channel. Great work guys!
this videp is literaly the best video on yt to see witch drum stick is the most durable of all , and as a brocke drummer i apriciate it ,ty
I’ll stick with hickory (pun intended)
😆👍
Great video guys!
I would be really interested to see the same test including Promark's new 'firegrain' sticks. I wonder how much durability the process actually adds to hickory.
not much.
I like the Jason Bonham maple drumsticks are very durable and I like them.
Just play with the back part and they'll last longer
They don’t seem much different to me
This channel deserve more than 100k subs
I COMPLETELY DON'T AGREE. Oak are too brittle, I gave up on them years ago.
Buying the shira Kashi oak sticks from promark was promark was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. That's why theyre my personal preference
Hi , you thought that the Maple would fail the water test , I knew it wouldn't because its a closed grain wood , where as both Oak and Hickory are open grained woods and will take on moisture faster than the maple . as a drummer for over 30 years and a woodworker for over 47 years , I turn my own sticks and I use Maple as its easier on the hands . Its less stiff than oak or Hickory .
I prefer maple too waaay better if you want a much fatter stick
@@JesusLordOfLords455 Try the Jason Bonham maple drumsticks. I just got mine and I like the feel of it.
Nice input Love maple just feeels sooo good and light ...
@@SuperheroJuniorthose unfortunately seem too small, do you know if there's something a couple steps fatter than a 2b in maple?
All I know is I DESTROY 7a’s but its my preferred weight :(
Guys, you forgot the Hornbeam sticks ! Now you must repeat the test :D
Waiting for the blisters to heal first ;)
@@bellmusic9127 haha, science hurts 🤣💪😉
Well I'm buying oak sticks now
I like the idea and the fun involved. However i think you need better control for your tests.
Yeah. Should have just used all Promark since they are the only ones that make all 3 lol not to mention, each brand uses a different stock diameter for their “5A”
You forgot to compare soft or flat spots on the bead from playing bronze cymbals. But more important than when they will break from extreme abuse, is how they sound and how loud they are. That's why I use maple for jazz, because with less mass they are quieter and offer great dynamics. Even in rock, you are going to mic the kit anyway so no need for oak really. Hickory is the average all-purpose wood. I have not broken a stick for decades.
I have a pair of Promark 747’s pre D’Addario taking ownership of Promark that are 35 years old and I use them all the time. Even if you play rim shots correctly your sticks shouldn’t ever break unless you intentionally tried to break them.
All sticks will break at some point
what about birch?
Is it that weak .. breaked that easily ... My one will don't even flinch..lol
The pro mark oak sticks are by far the most durable but they dont play as well as hickory and they are harder on your hands if your a hard hitter.
I used to play with the Promark oaks. Definitely not a fan of them anymore since discovering the 531 Maple Jason Bonham sticks. They last me as long and feel way better in balance and they dont chip everywhere. Hickory is probably my favorite of the 3 and definitely last longer. It all depends how hard you play. I'm not a rim shot player so sticks last me awhile.
Oak sticks will only last a long time if you play with the butt ends
