Every dowel is hand inspected to ensure that the grain is straight and free of outer defects; only then does it make it to our lathes to be turned into a Los Cabos Drumstick. These drumsticks are also made out of a maple wood that is widely considered to be the best in the business. Maple, while still a hardwood, is a very lightweight, responsive wood that provides a bright sound and fast attack, creating fluidity on the drum kit.
