The Art Blakey stick
One of hard Bop's greatest exponents, master of the
smokin' press roll of death. Decades of the leading the great
Jazz Messenger bands have earned him his place in history.
The Art Blakey model has been reproduced exactly
from his 60's stick - the longer taper and triangle tip
make this stick ideal for almost any application.
Bopworks sticks are pitched paired and weighed in grams.
This ensures proper matching in every pair you buy.

Art Blakey Centennial Edition is a winner
The rectangular tip gives an elevated attack on drums and cymbals. The specs on this stick really felt great to me. Hope you continue to make this model, Bopworks. I will grab more if you make them.

Art Blakey centennial model drum sticks
Weight and balance were disappointing. No comparison to my Gretsch Art Blakey model 1D drum sticks from 1970.

Bopworks Art Blakey stick
These are amazing sticks. Perfect balance and bring out wonderful sounds on the cymbals. Bopworks makes the best sticks for jazz, hands down.

haven't had this model before but after playing with them for an hour or so, I've come to really like the tip shape. Nice solid ping!

Art Blakey Sticks
These sticks and Bopworks are THE guys for vintage stick reproductions. The Blakey stick has all the strength and power you’d expect from Buhaina’s model but with the subtleties included for softer passages and roaring press rolls. Highly recommended!

I play a wide variety of music - From Driving Rock to Americana, Country, and Jazz. These are my go-to sticks for each. They are super tough and highly responsive - from rolls to grooves to fills
