Key Features
The ProMark Hickory 808L Wood Tip Ian Paice Drumsticks, designed by Ian Paice, are an ideal stick for any drummer looking for balance, length and articulation. a medium taper provides a balanced rebound on drums and cymbals alike, keeping you in control of your feel behind the kit. An extra 1/8'' on the 16'' average length gives you more power in your stroke and easy reach around your kit. A round tip articulates all of your hits on drums and cymbals, working extremely well on the bell of rides.
Please Note: These sticks have been rebranded with new packaging. You may receive old packaging - however, product remains the same.

Born in Nottingham, Paice got his first drum kit at age 15 and began his professional career in the early 1960s. The first band he was in was called Georgie & the Rave-Ons, which after being renamed the Shindigs released their first single featuring the 17-year-old Paice and George Adams. In 1966 Paice joined the MI5, which soon changed its name to the Maze.
Primarily a club band, the Maze produced a number of singles, recorded mainly in Italy and France. The Maze featured vocalist Rod Evans, who alongside Paice was to form the original line-up of Deep Purple in March 1968. Given that Deep Purple's first choice as drummer, Bobby Woodman, had expressed dislike for the band's musical direction, the group hastily arranged an audition for Paice, with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore leading the charge.
Blackmore in interviews years later stated: "I had looked for Ian Paice for about a year after seeing him perform in Hamburg. He's an incredible drummer. And he was the motor of the band". Before arriving at their current lineup, Deep Purple has undergone numerous lineup changes since its inception, with Paice being the last remaining original member that remains active until today in the band.
Providing a perfect balance of tone, durability and ease to work with, Hickory has long been established as THE popular wood for drum sticks. Great for all genres and styles of playing, you can't go wrong with a Hickory stick - it's a classic for a reason.
