Carbosticks, Carbon Fiber Drumsticks, 7ACTR, Light Weight, Red, Jazz & Pop

Product Description

Carbosticks have been available in Europe for several years. The company uses a color code system to distinguish between the models Fulcrum weight (balance point). The red labels are weighted more towards the back of the stick, giving them a lighter feel and response, most appropriate for playing jazz and pop music. Carbosticks classified by white labels are weighted more toward the shoulder and front of the sticks, giving them a heavier response for playing rock music and louder, harder rhythms.


  • Made of a unique patented carbon fiber compound.
  • Same characteristics as wood sticks including feel, sound, weight and balance
  • Carbosticks last three to eight times longer than wood sticks.
  • Specially manufactured to wick away perspiration, resist abrasion and be unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best All Around Stick, November 3, 2010

So as any drummer knows sticks are the most valuable and most annoying part of being a percussionist. Oh, and cost is important also.

I've used these sticks for about 5 years now, and i've only purchased 3 pair in 5 years. I play for about 2 hours every week and when we have a concert i play an additional 3 hours that week.

the sticks never wear out. I've bought three pair because the first pair sustained a snapped tip @ the top where the tip tapers up to the size of the stick.

the second pair to replace the first, and the third pair to have a consistent tip (the second pair i purchased a different tip style, but used the first pair's good stick, and lost the unused 2nd pair's stick)

Granted, i play Jazz and swing, so the abuse is not average, but i can tell you when i was playing Rock - it didn't change a thing.

the only drawbacks are instead of pieces of wood flying around, it's CF when it finally chips away. and the heads will... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars No so great., April 19, 2011

I ignored a couple of earlier reviews because every drummer is different and treat their sticks differently. I have had my sticks for 2 weeks and the tip broke right off. Trust me, I am not an abusive drummer and the tip broke right off as it was dancing on my Ride Bell. The sound was excellent as I gave them at least two stars, but every drummer looks for a strong stick. That is all.

1.0 out of 5 stars These do not last!, June 27, 2010

These sticks claim to last 3 to 8 times longer than regular wood sticks. THEY DON'T I played with them for about 20 minutes and the tip broke off of one stick. I play with my wood sticks for days on end without breaking them. I will not buy again unless proven otherwise.
