Collection: Los Cabos

About Los Cabos

Los Cabos is a Canadian drumstick manufacturer based in Richmond Hill, Ontario. They've built their reputation on precision manufacturing and consistent quality control. Every stick is weight-matched and pitch-paired before it leaves the factory, which means you get the same feel and response from stick to stick. Their hickory and maple models cover everything from light jazz work to heavy rock playing. Los Cabos uses a proprietary finishing process that extends wood life without making the sticks feel slippery. Drummers who care about balance and durability keep coming back to these sticks.

Hickory Models

The hickory line is the core of the Los Cabos catalog. Hickory is dense, shock-absorbent, and handles rim shots without splintering as quickly as softer woods. Los Cabos offers standard sizes like 5A and 5B, plus specialty models with different tip shapes for specific cymbal articulation. The Red Hickory series adds a red stain finish that some drummers prefer for visibility on stage. These sticks work for rock, metal, and any style where you need durability under heavy playing. The weight-matching process means you can buy multiple pairs and know they'll feel identical.

Maple Models

Maple sticks are lighter and faster than hickory. Los Cabos uses Canadian maple, which is harder than some other maple sources. These sticks suit jazz, fusion, and lighter playing styles where speed and finesse matter more than brute force. The White Birch series sits between maple and hickory in terms of weight and density. Maple absorbs less shock than hickory, so you feel more of what's happening at the tip. That can be an advantage for brush-style playing or when you need precise cymbal control. Maple wears faster than hickory, but the trade-off is a lighter, more responsive stick.
