I really wanted to hear from that amazing lady who checks all the sticks! 35 years! You should have interviewed her. I'm sure she's worth her weight in gold to the company over all those years.
I want to know the name of the woman who has probably been there long enough to see a few different department heads roll through. 35 years inspecting drumsticks!
Currently using those active grip sticks they are amazing. Pitch match of the sticks are real. Got an old pair of "420 MikePortnoy Signature" sticks with the Majesty logo that I inherited from the friend that taught me drums. He has passed away since and its very nice to have these to remember him. I appreciate what pro-mark does.
Suggestion : use V-drums and be careful not to trash your sticks. I've had sticks for YEARS. My faves are maple pipe band and Firth quit making them. Highlander HS1
It's actually a pretty clear requirement to disclose that information for paid videos. It's entirely possible (and quite likely) that this was not a paid agreement but rather part of a general partnership.
I/we never got paid by D'addario or Pro-Mark for this video other than a small portion of travel costs covered. Was not a paid video at all and actually my idea to go and film there. It never was requested by ProMark, they accommodated myself and my crew. - Jared Falk
I'm a fan of Promark sticks. Ergo, I'm a fan of that wonderful lady who checks them all. She'll have been there 37 years by now, meaning she's been there since I was 10. Fuuuck.
The drum solo excerpts that you play at 0:17-0:38 and at 4:47-6:21 , isn't that Todd Sucherman's drum solo he played in the Drumeo video? If so, it is well picked because he plays Pro-mark sticks (SD330W), and he is an amazing drummer.
I have been to vicfirth factory. There is a lot that goes into making sticks. A lot of which they don’t show you. Vf has a lot of extra steps. Pretty interesting stuff.
whoa! That's how drumstick made with band logos or stick drum company logos like zildjian and other sticks. now Ik how drumsticks made. I started playing drums since 2013.
As a drummer and a hobby craftsman with a lathe, the doweler would have been one of the most interesting parts of the process to see. Any reason that portion was skipped entirely?
Around $10 for a pair of quality sticks nowadays! A few years ago Guitar Center Clearance Center here in Dallas was selling sticks for a dollar a pair. Manny were promark Vader Etc and many were no name on the stick. The stick that I have always preferred to use is a promark double header, it has a bead on both ends and is a perfectly balanced stick for twirling, they do not make them anymore. So I bought at least a hundred pairs of sticks at Guitar Center clearance for a dollar a pair and will acclimate to the cheaper ones because of the price
So...a $4,000 drum.kit where you get annoyed by $1.00 warped sticks? :) Just be careful not to destroy them. I use V-drums about half the time and I'm careful. Never broke anything on the kit. Broke one stick in 10+ years. :) That wouldn't be worth it to me at all. :)
I am too, but after seeing this as well as the VF factory tour, I found it interesting that the processes are both QC'd to similar extents. I don't think either company makes a bad product
Shout out to the lady that manually checks the sticks for us. 35 years is a long time to support a huge number of drummers.
Tony Lancer yea we should know her name! Very important lady!
So that was 1983
I second that.
@@yungggiraffe The guy who calls her "she" was probably not even born then...
@@ronaldent5781 Maybe she didnt want her name in the video. It's called privacy! Some people enjoy their privacy.

whats amazing if doing that mind numbing job 40 hours a week for 35 years!
"She?"
She doesn't have a name? 35 years deserves first name recognition on a job she does so well.
Michael Kay they may have said her name in that segment many times but it got edited out 🤷🏻♂️
I agree
My wife hates ladies being called SHE, That's the cats mother is her quote!
She ought to have a special model named after her!
Let me guess your going to cry racism because they said she..LMAO good luck ..ill bet She didn't want her name used
Big up for all the workers in this factory, theyre fundamental for all the drummers!!

Maybe she doesnt want you to know her name. It's called privacy and she is entitled to it whether you like it or not.

Can I have all the rejected sticks?
I'd love to know what happens to the rejected sticks ... (because I'd like to have them too).
Slim -- Thanks --- I've never *seen* them ... but I'll certainly go *look* for them. [ - I presume that they *don't* have the Pro-Mark stamp ?]
I'd like the "tiger striped" sticks shes throwing away.
Oh they send those to Ahead to label
My brother got rejected sticks, he said they suck
1:53 Jenga: Master Edition
Interesting stacking method. Stick ends TOUCHING the stick that is next to it.
Every drummer should plant a tree 🌲
swati acharya not every drummer. Everyone around the globe 😉
every virtue signaler should hang them self from a tree.
I have, several.
yes it is good for us and also for earth

0:42 “This is a big pile of logs” *epic music insues*
man after working for vic firth i appreciate the process of making things alot more and appreciate each part of it.
My first sticks were pro mark if i remember, so they must have come from there and been checked by that lady
God bless Drumeo and crew for the great works.
I'm blessed right here!
every product by promark has been checked by someone's grandma, thats so god damn cool.
I don't know why, but the intro was very inspiring for me)
Thankyou for the video @drumeo, and God bless that promark staff🙏🏿❤🙏🏿
Yeah, all of this quality checking and all of my ProMarks blew up on the ride's bell. 10/10. Thanks.
There will always be duds, no matter how high the bar is set for testing
I have a pair of those signature sticks. The more I use them the better they get. I love them. Thanks for the great quality sticks.
Awesomeness... love these kinds of behind the scenes of the stuff i use...👍👍shoutout to the workers!!🙌🙌
Thank you Drumeo for these kind of videos, the one at D’Addario was really cool too!
Hats off to her for her work
So cool!!!! I never knew how much work actually went into making a drumstick!!!!!
Wow ! So cool to see a little interview with partners !
Lucas Mendonça they are his parent's
5:15 that's todd sucherman's beautiful drum solo playing in the background; excellent soundtrack choice.
Cool video. I prefer zildjian stirx myself but know Pro-Mark are one the best out there.
best sticks hands down, great video
the next will be, how the cymbals are made!

Dominic- If that's the case (that it's a paid-for video), they need to disclose that and there's a message that will show up on the video.

Cool! I just bought a pair of those grip sticks and really like them. Had no idea the wood came from just down the road from me too!

Nuts to think I've possibly played with one of those logs down the line 🤘
AWESOME!!!
I love "how it's made" videos.
Wow great to see the hero Of drumeo in this video.

Proprietary reasons. They‘re not going to give away their secrets.
Amo essas baquetas, obrigado Dromeo 🙌😍👋🙄
PROMARK, the best out there!
No. There are other brands with the same quality.
@@dxb8086 that's your opinion
This is a great video. More of these please.
I like the word above the door "Music start here"
Good folks at Drumeo
I just get a 7/16 inch pine dowel and cut it to 15.5 inch lengths. Pine works nice for a real soft and light stick.

verrrrrrry interesting ! please do other videos like this one !
good job thank you !
Thank you!
Playing pro-mark for more reasons than I thought
Your could be the new How It's Made narrator
Just bought myself a pair about 30 mins ago, and this appeared in my recommendation hahah
No one is going to realise that the background music in the end is Todd's drum solo. The drummer for Styx.
I had those black, cool sticks!
Very nice video, thanx drumeo
I've used to work in a drum stick factory for three years. And we produce the sticks a bit differently.Wincent drum sticks.
wincent sticks = best sticks
@@DrummerJulian LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a Pro-Mark 5B guy -- I could (easily !) have watched a 2+ hour programme on how the drumsticks are made.
Thank you so much Jason!!! 😊
"Shrunkwrapped?!?"
Oh, the pain...the pain.
This is great! Thanks for sharing
Intro was 🔥
That’s some nice Jengga.

Awesome to know this process :'j
Awesome video!

On a recent pair of nylon sticks i had, the nylon fell from one, and broke for the other.
The one with broken nylon dent my patch. :’(
I have been playing Pro Mark wood tip Japaneses Oak 747's since the 1980's... Nuff said
❤D' Addario string and sticks
Fantastic video! Thank you very much.
Maximiliam Andersson thanks for adding transcriptions to your covers, they are really helpful
I love these videos! I hope they plant a tree every now and then
Three seedlings for every one tree used for making sticks.
Ben O'Brien Smith Wow I’m pretty impressed by that tbh! Good to know
Right? Super cool: www.playplantpreserve.com/
....and hang a virtue signaler from every one they plant.
Brilliant 😊🤩
Very cool video!
Content quality here
Do a "how sausages are made!"
you wanna stop eating them?
Ogrgels Lair wow edgy,I'm hurt.
Bromoteknada do a how kids are made
Nicolas Gomez-Trenor ok then,can I please borrow your mom?
Bromoteknada it’s the exact same as this but with meat
Awesome Jared.
I use anything that’s 5A’s I’m want to try some wooden tips for a while
Incredible
I really want those
Love the Japanese Oak sticks
If that lady has been handling every stick for 35 years, I've shaken her hand indirectly a lot. I played ProMark 5A exclusively for over 30 years!
Beautiful! Thank you :)
Fascinating!
Check out that Astros lid....GO STROS!!!
Excellent!
“These are some logs..” *music intensifies*
Nice Sucherman's part here

Cool, but I'm more of a Vic Firth fan.

well, when you cant afford the best....
YOURE EITHER WITH ME, OR YOURE AGAINST ME.
I use Vic firth ti
My first personal drum stick is vicfirth just bought it last month
You happy UA-cam!!???
Promark is the best!
Showoff love drumming
Great Video
Not even going to mention Mike Portnoy has 2 signature sticks? with active grip and without.
I love this!
So cool!
I design and manufacture my own Drum sticks, hand made using Purple Heart
It doesn't gst any more made in the U.S.A. than that. Nice!
Does anyone know what exact kind of Hickory they're using?
Really interesting
