France's leading stick manufacturer, Pro Orca, has been in business for over 30 years, producing really great drumsticks. Made from the finest grades of hickory, Pro Orca sticks feature truly innovative ideas, including the company's unique 'Soft Touch Process', a varnish coating giving the sticks a non-slip surface. Watch-out too for Pro Orca's range of adjustable rods, which feature a unique, sturdy plastic adjuster, making them considerably more durable than rods fixed with the traditional style rubber bands.
