In 2006, award-winning product designer, Robert Wilhelm, and his son, Aaron, teamed up with Kingfield Wood Products, former manufacturer of Vic Firth drumsticks, to create an exciting new drumstick set to redefine the industry.


The patented design of HORNETS ™ drumsticks offers an ergonomic, contoured handle along with rubber “O-rings? designed to relieve forearm pressure and reduce shock to the wrist.  Made from first quality American hickory and hard rock maple, HORNETS™ drumsticks fit comfortably in the hand to function as a natural extension of the drummer’s arm.

We believe that drumsticks, like anything, contain inherent artistic value, and we are eager to share our artistic vision with you.  We hope you enjoy playing with HORNETS™ drumsticks as much as we have enjoyed designing them.

HORNETS™ offer:

• Reduced muscle fatigue
• Unique contour that fits comfortably in the hand.


• Reduced stick vibration
• Variety of colors
• Innovative Design



“I’ve been playing the drums for over 50 years, and no sticks have ever blown me away like
the HORNETS™. The special contour lets me relax my thumb, and makes me feel like I could
play for hours and never get tired.? - George Griffin, renowned West Coast drummer
