We are a veteran and musician owned small business that specializes in offering premium drumsticks called the Immortal Series. No other drumstick on the market goes through a more rigorous production, sorting and inspection process.  

A white hickory grown in Tennessee, manufactured and produced with one goal in mind; becoming immortal. 

The Immortal Series drumstick line by Scorpion Percussion is a premium line of white hickory dowels, kiln dried, milled by grinders, sorted for crossgrain, dead and low tones, weight and pitch paired by magical elves in sunny San Diego. The Immortal Series is crafted by and experiences the best parts of modern drumstick manufacturing.  It is a product of some of the highest QC tolerances and standards in the business.

Immortal Series drumsticks are for the drummer who wants that extra weight, feel, and durability, but doesn't want to pay oak prices. Also for those who want a longer lasting stick that just plays and sounds better.  

Immortality is a fantastical, mythical concept. We use the word "Immortal" to illustrate that our drumsticks are more durable than the other brands'. Reality dictates that everyone one day perish; though some will be remembered longer than others, everything and everyone will one day cease to exist.

Rehearsal Series drumsticks are the second quality sticks didn't make the Immortal Series cut. Still great sticks, still playable, just have things like weird weights, tone, misprints, etc. We sell them at a discounted rate of $6.99/pr and quite often run sales for less than $5/pr. Keep your eyes peeled for a B Stock Blowout!

Rehearsal Series drumsticks are for the drummer on a budget or a drummer who doesn't care about all the details and just wants some cheap lumber. They also pair well with a drummer who wants to sell their signature sticks to a fan at the merch booth, or just to have as giveaways or gifts. Why giveaway your Immortal Series?
