Posts: 1071 Threads: 128

I have a guy who ask me if i could get him some drum stick's in 17" long. to me that seem's long . any body here Know of any make/company. this guy here is a real old timer he loves to share his drum stories about back in the day when drummer's were real drummers. And he's just getting back into playing at the young age of 72 and he still can play well. On just that alone when i find the sticks it will be a gift from me to him .

17" ....they tend to be rather large in diameter.

ProMark makes a few in 17", I think the smallest one is a 2S.

Vid Firth Metal, Abe Laboriel and Ted Atkatz models, additionally their marching line-up has many 17".

They're out there... also somebody here was offering to make custom sticks, so I would do a search for that thread and follow the links to the company (they were priced pretty well too).

That Isn't Unusual as Hoppy has already stated! Having some vintage sticks from the 30's etc, from that time period they are usually in the 5" + range, they have gotten longer over time!

Your drummers not much good is he!? What you need is someone that's as good as me. ! John Henry Bonham !!

Have you seen Alex Van Halen's Regal Tip model? That may even be 17.25". Also I suppose there must be long drum corps-style sticks from every manufacturer.

Regal Tip's Alex Van Halen signature stick is 17 3/4". Their Metal X and Chester Thompson models are 17".

The Vater 1A and DSK are 17".

For what you're describing... I'd probably go with the Chester Thompson stick.
