   About Bopworks Drumsticks

Myspace Layouts

Bopworks sticks came about from the realization that current jazz model sticks can sometimes be too heavy and “overdrive” a ride cymbal in quiet playing situations. Jazz drummers often have to deal with “live”rooms that are acoustic nightmares: unmiked pianos & acoustic basses in restaurants or coffeehouses, hotel lobbies, dinner sets ...well, you get the idea.

hi chris,

no worries, mate--thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!

can't wait to order more Krupa model sticks but believe it or not I'm still on the first of three pairs I received in October!

I've used them in dozens of light to medium rooms and a quartet of recording sessions & they have yet to chip or crack or split.

they sport a healthy rough coat of backbeat & rim use but I haven't even spent the first pair...incredible!

congrats--I hope more like-minded folks might read this & be inspired. you've got a great thing going!!

cheers,
david stanoch

Hey Chris,

Thanks for getting the Krupa sticks to me so quickly. Got to play 'em today at a session & just loved them.

Had to try 'em as soon as I saw the triangle tip. I'm a fan of the Stanton Moore model that Vic Firth makes, & especially the old Jim Keltner model that Johnny Rabb used to make, for the same reason.

The tip is SO versatile for getting different tones & dynamics out of the drums & cymbals. I'll be ordering more of yours for sure. They sport a nice, light yet focused sound, and feel just great.

Thanks again & all the best with your noble endeavor.
