Cooper Groove Performance Drumsticks
For 500 years, drumstick handles never changed. Smooth wood. Same feel. Same limits.
Cooper Groove broke that streak.
Your hands are your connection to the instrument — and these sticks finally treat them like it.
Launched in 2015, drummers felt it instantly:
Cooper Grooves aren’t a commodity. They’re a connection.
Each pair has 20 CNC-cut cross grooves CNC’d directly into American hickory.
This patented pattern activates your grip nerve, giving you real-time control, feel, and responsiveness no smooth stick can touch.
The grooves instantly reduce or eliminate:
- shock
- fatigue
- vibration
- hand cramps
- slips
- drops
And they remove the need for tape, wax, gloves, or anything that kills feel.
Every pair is handcrafted one set at a time. No shortcuts.
Just pure performance for drummers who want more from their hands — and more from their sound.
Cooper Groove Performance Drumsticks
The first true evolution in drumstick handles in 500 years.
Feel everything. Control everything.
Gary Eltzroth (verified owner) –
“Since getting hooked up with Cooper Grooves, any other stick just don’t compare. Long lasting….easy on hands with ailments and keeps us older drummers pounding the skins for hours! Carlo Cooper has made the most innovative stick on the market. Cooper Grooves….the last brand you’ll ever buy!!”
Alan Linett (verified owner) –
“After a dozen finger, hand, and wrist surgeries, it’s very difficult for me to grasp and not drop sticks. I am not back to playing full on, full strength, without worrying about dropping them any more!”
Kandi Goodnight (verified owner) –
“I’ve had 8 hand surgeries since 2016 for carpal tunnel, “trigger fingers”, and tendonitis. Three since October of this last year. Yesterday, for the first time playing since October, I sat down, played through a whole album, NO nerve pain. Thank you for making these awesome stix!!”
Richard Pebo Neatherlin (verified owner) –
“I have dementia. I use Cooper Groove drumsticks in my daily routine. Music is how I’m fighting back. Your sticks grip firm in my hands and makes them super valuable to folks suffering from dementia related weaknesses.”
Gary Lee (verified owner) –
“The only sticks on the market that eliminates the pain I was having with every other major stick brand. They outperform anything I’ve ever used. Best sticks ever!!”
Jeff Pierce (verified owner) –
“Been playing your Cooper Grooves since 2016. I love them. To this day, I’ve never broken one of your sticks. With my rheumatoid arthritis, Cooper Grooves kept me playing when I was going to quit. You were my last resort. Thanks Carlo!”
Jose Jaramillo (verified owner) –
“These sticks have made me a better drummer! The control I have, I used to have pain in my wrists….not anymore! I’ll never use a different kind of stick.”
Lee Rothstein (verified owner) –
“I have been drumming with my current band since November. The music is loud, and I’m hitting pretty hard. In 8 months of rehearsals and shows, I haven’t had any cramping or soreness in my hands or wrists. I have had one nylon ball tip come off of a stick, but ZERO breakage. It’s Cooper Groove or nothing.”
Joe Whatley (verified owner) –
“Not sure why all of my fellow drummers haven’t switched to Cooper Groove drumsticks. I have been a Cooper Groove user for 4 years now, and believe me, these sticks are amazing!! I have played with all brand names in my 38 years of drumming and Cooper Groove is best ever!!”
Ken Sanders (verified owner) –
“Your drumsticks are an extension of your hands when you play. That is why it is essential that they allow you to feel relaxed and to effortlessly transfer your musical inspirations. The unique design of the CG drumstick facilitates a lighter….softer grip. It is much like power steering on automobiles. That affects everything….your control, dynamics, speed, and most importantly “feel”. I proudly endorse these!”
Dave M. (verified owner) –
“Set one is over. I can feel my fingers, and they didn’t go numb once. So, the sticks do exactly what they claim. Very pleased with that.”
Mario Paoloni (verified owner) –
“My annual Memorial Day weekend Super Jam is coming up next month, and I’ll be “Grooving” 10+ hours a day. This will be my 4th year of the event and my signature “Grooves” have been there for every beat. I tell ya, these sticks are a Godsend for anyone with hand issues (Arthritis, Neuropathy, fatigue, carpal tunnel). Lovin’ my Grooves, that’s for sure!”
Nancy Harris (verified owner) –
“I played for 3-4 hours yesterday with very few breaks, and didn’t have a problem with my elbows or hands. Holding the sticks as well at the end of our informal jam as at the beginning. No way I could do that now without my Cooper Groove Sticks.”
Guy Rockhill (verified owner) –
“These sticks become invisible in my hands. The grip is so smooth all I feel is the resistance of all these things I try to beak like they owe me money. Best sticks on the market.”
Josh Smith (verified owner) –
“Putting my Grooves to work. These sticks are simply incredible. It’s so cool to be able to hold onto them without any slipping or pain. I love my Cooper Grooves.”
Darby Shelton (verified owner) –
“I have never broken one either. I previously used another major brand and I went through those like a beaver chewing up pencils…..”
Dana Rishling (verified owner) –
“I’ve been using CG for 4 years now, and I truly believe they have kept me being able to still play drums, even after a violent industrial accident that crushed my pelvis, sacrum, and various other parts of my body, including horrendous nerve damage to both of my arms and hands. Had cubital surgery on each. The ordinary sticks would eventually slowly slip out of my hands. Once I used my CG’s, I INSTANTLY saw relief, and the sticks quit sliding out of my hands.”
Dana Rishling (verified owner) –
“Played non-stop for 3.5 hours. Not one slip episode, and then I noticed another benefit – no sweat! The Grooves form a gap between your sticks and fingers and “aerates” your grip. More control, more grip, but no sweat and a relaxed grip…all in one simple change…Definitely a game changer!”
John Gerston (verified owner) –
“Best sticks I’ve ever played! Durable as can be, solid, and comfortable. I would never have guessed how much sticks can make a difference, but playing these are soothing. I play fairly hard and with a lot of energy. These stand the test of time!”
Wade Taylor (verified owner) –
“Best sticks ever!! Still use them til this day, and I don’t break near as many as normal.”
John Belisle (verified owner) –
“It seems too good to be true! I practiced for over an hour without my hands going numb from carpal tunnel! The rubber grip isn’t too thick like other brands. These sticks are amazing!”
John Young III (verified owner) –
“Best sticks I ever purchased. Been playing drums since I was 8 years old. Now 60, and I bought these sticks a few years ago, and they are awesome. No fatigue in my hands after playing for 2 hours or more. The tips are great, also have not lost a tip. GREAT STICKS. Keep up the great work.”
Troy Larabie (verified owner) –
“They are evenly balanced, the Grooves help with increased grip, curb annoying sweaty hands, and relieves stress on the hands from having to hold too tight.”
LeJoe Young (verified owner) –
“These feel like they are massaging my hands. They’re also great when it’s over 100 degrees out.”
David Washburn (verified owner) –
“I am totally impressed with Cooper Groove sticks! The comfort level and feel is incredible! Besides the obvious advantages; no slip. No sweating!”
Rudy Barajas (verified owner) –
“The sticks give me another level of confidence. I know that on those days I have 2 gigs, my back is going to give out before my hands will. I’m more confident that I can do all those fills at the end of the last gig and not lose my grip from fatigue because there is none. In the morning after the gig, my hands don’t hurt. I can hold my cup of coffee without pain.”
John Mulvan Jr (verified owner) –
“Playing the drums with mild cerebral palsy has never been easy, but it became easier after I decided to give Cooper Groove drumsticks a try back in 2017. Since using Cooper Grooves, my grip in my right hand is much more sure and dependable especially when I’m not and sweaty. As a result, my confidence behind the drumkit has increased 60%.”
Bill Mann (verified owner) –
“Cooper Groove drumsticks are hands down the best drumsticks available on the market! I have been playing this pair for months! My band plays every weekend both nights! Not only do these sticks hold up, but they are therapeutic!! I don’t have to hold them like I’m afraid they will go flying, and they keep me from getting cramps in my hands.”
Craig Parton (verified owner) –
“After trying the first pair out, they felt great. Not only was I able to hand on to them, but I no longer have to wear gloves. My hands don’t hurt and go numb as much either. These sticks are great, and I can’t tell you how great. You really have to just give them a try and feel the difference”
T.O. (verified owner) –
“These sticks have and will continue to revolutionize the industry. They allow people to continue their passion of playing the drums, solving a whole slew of problems. Hand, wrist, and forearm pain is virtually eliminated, and the grip is drastically better than other sticks, in dry or sweaty conditions. Made by someone who listens to drummers, incorporating all input into the making of these beautiful sticks.”
Gary Lee (verified owner) –
“Sold on Cooper Grooves! Great grip, awesome balance and feel! Love the playability and the way they feel in my hands!”
Richard Pebo Neatherlin (verified owner) –
“Playing with Cooper Grooves have eliminated my carpal tunnel symptoms! They also look cool which is never a bad thing!”
Ron Evans (verified owner) –
“I have been on stage for over 40 years playing drums, and I’m blown away by these sticks. For almost 6 months, I only used Cooper Grooves and have not broken one yet….parts have fallen off, but not one broken…that is crazy. My bandmates are blown away by my mobility now and the speed I have due to the fact they feel amazing. My hands feel so much better, arms are not so tired….I will never use another stick ever!”
Kandi Goodnight (verified owner) –
“I’ve always embraced companies that make products that ultimately make my life easier or more efficient in some way. Cooper Groove drumsticks easily qualifies as one of those for sure.”
Alan Linett (verified owner) –
“These drumsticks are great. I have arthritis in my thumbs and Cooper Grooves let me play drums with less pain. Carlo Cooper, you rock. Great product and great sticks. I recommend these drumsticks to drummers with hand pain, they sure help a lot.”
Gary Eltzroth (verified owner) –
“These are phenomenal sticks that are not just improving the design of drumsticks, but redefining how thousands of people all around the world experience their instrument”
Kenny Van Duzer –
Was a little skeptical when I first picked up a pair, but I’m glad the lead singer in our band recommended them to me. The claims they make about feeling less fatigued are valid. They have also reduced sweating on my hands. Just played a three hour show with them and they held up and felt great the entire time. If I had to give feedback, I think the tips start to wear faster than normal. That could just be the way I play though. Highly recommend these sticks.
Greg Hipskind –
I’ve been using Cooper Grooves for over 5 years now. Hands down the best sticks that I’ve got my hands on. Durable and the grips have helped with fatigue and pain. Give them a try and I’m sure you’ll love them.
Trey Galia –
You won’t regret trying out CooperGroove drumsticks. I’ve always had sweaty hands when playing and I never loved wearing gloves or using wax. When I tried these sticks, I never bought a different brand. It lasts and it’s definitely worth it.
Ed Keller –
After getting my first few pair of Cooper Groove sticks back in February, I realized what I had been missing. The feel is amazing, the quality is superb, and the playing experience is eye-opening. More control even while sweating during heavy sessions. Less hand fatigue, and no fear of stick twirls if you’re so inclined! I highly recommend these sticks to drummers of all ages and all genres.
George Fraga –
Got my 1st pair bout 7 or 8 yrs ago cause sticks fly outta my hands in Floridas 100 degree summer sweats. Got them RAW(undipped) originally. Been with them since. The Grooves n coating make a BIG difference.
Anthony Pacheco –
Cooper Groove Grips are killin! A drummer buddy of mine Booker E (Eric Vasquez) hooked me up with a pair of his signatures and I was amazed at how efficient the sticks feel with rimshots! The Grip makes me feel comfortable.
Great product and looking forward to getting some more soon.
Brian Piotti –
I’ve been a customer since they started. I love playing the drums, I started taking lessons in 1970. Now at 64 my fingers are a little arthritic and I never want to stop playing. I use a traditional grip and thanks to Cooper Groove Grips I can comfortably keep rocking on 🤘 😎. Thank you! CG!
Robbie Stewart –
Just played them for the first time at a gig with no practice time with them and after playing a 4 hour show not once did I drop a stick nor did I feel the normal fatigue I usually experience. My new go too stick! Will definitely be ordering more!

The Stick every Drummer Needs
Groovers drumsticks designed by Carlo have been a game changer for me. As I am getting holder, the sticks provide a sure, comfortable grip that helps me tremendously with extended playing and takes any hand discomfort down to zero. They are great sticks even if you don’t have issues with your hands as their feel, balance and sound are second to none. Carlo’s Groovers really have it all!

Cooper Groove is an absolute game changer for my grip, and wear and tear on my hands as well. These sticks have, pair for pair tripled the life of any other brand I’ve ever used. It’s hard to think about going back to what I was using after purchasing this product! Cooper Groove is second to none!
Mark Honts –
The Groove Grip is an innovation that allows me to continue to do what I love. I recommend for ALL players to at least try a pair of these drumsticks. Whether you have grip issues or not, you will be amazing by the increased control and decreased fatigue while playing AND the decreased effects of repepetive stress on your hands and wrists AFTER playing. Straight up- I could not continue to play if it were not for Carlo Cooper’s Cooper Groove Drumsticks. Thanks Carlo!!!

Best sticks I’ve ever played! Durable as can be, solid, and comfortable. I would have never guessed how much sticks can make a difference, but playing these are sooothing. I play fairly hard and with a lot of energy. These stand the test of time!
Peter John –
“Cooper Groove drum sticks are the best sticks I have ever used. I have been playing drums for over 50 years. The grooves and finish of the sticks absorb the impact of the stick hitting the drum. My hands no longer hurt when I finish a night of playing. The sticks are much more durable than the conventional sticks I previously used. I spend more per pair and actually save money due to longevity. I have had a great experience with their customer service. They stand behind their product and their product is top notch!”
Casey Ferry –
After playing drums for many many yrs, I finally found a stick that holds up to the beating it receives and my hands hold up while giving the beating�Carlo is willing to work with you to get you the stick that you are looking for. CooperGroove is a well oiled machine that is pushing out a great American made drumstick!!! Highly recommended!
Don Moe –
I switched to CooperGroves about a month ago and I am happy to say these are the best sticks I have ever used. I was having trouble dropping sticks due to stiffness in my fingers and since I switched I have not dropped 1 stick. Thanks Carlo!!!
Jack Caneva –
They help me perform with better technique and less pain. I have suffered a dislocated wrist and elbow + muscle fatigue. Also they are great for dynamics ��
Chris Matthews –
I’ve played for 38 years…..I am Absolutely SOLD! I Love these sticks
I just played a 4 hour show…My hands ALWAYS cramp up during long shows.
I mean Always
Until This time!
Absolutely Fantastic sticks!!!
Kyle Spoden –
Since I started playing the drums, I could never find the right sticks. Nothing had the right grip I was looking for or had the right balance. Then, I found out about Cooper Grooves and my life was changed! Not only is it the right stick, it is that and more! The grip, the way it works with pressure points, balance, it’s just an overall conformation stick. No more gloves, tape, grip, etc. This will solve your problems. Get them now!
Ian Alerre –
My new go to sticks. Solid, durable sticks. The grooves provide a better grip while playing. My hands feel better after playing several hours. Will continue to buy in the future.
Glen Noel –
Cooper groove sticks are one of the few products you will come across that truly delivers on t he advertisements. The grooves provide a comfortable, sure grip that has been helping this old guy get behind the set again! Combine that with sticks that are as durable as any that I have ever used and you get a winning combination!
Add to the mix this question, how many of your equipment makers know you by name? That means a lot to me. Give them a try- I think you’ll be as happy as I am!
Matt Sherrer –
These are the BEST sticks on the planet……PERIOD!!! I’ve been drumming most of my life & have used so many different brands. Cooper Groove drum sticks have changed my life. Because if Cooper Groove, my hands haven’t cramped since using them. These sticks also eliminate fatigue. Only sticks I’ll use now.
Scott Macwilliams –
I️ bought a few pair of CooperGrooves a couple months ago and have been using them ever since, for both practice and shows. You hear everyone praising all the virtues of these sticks, but you really need to try them yourself to fully appreciate them. You might think “it’s just a drumstick, how different can they be”? Trust me, these are not like any sticks you’ve ever used. I️’ve tried and used every manufacturer’s sticks during 40+ years of playing drums and nothing comes close to the way CooperGrooves feel, or LAST! No more death grip needed, or the associated cramping. You get a great confidence boost when using these sticks. You can play with more finesse and feeling. What really convinced me was going back to my previous stick choice after using CooperGrooves for a couple months. WOW!!! What a difference!!! I️ can’t go back – it’s CooperGrooves for life now!!! And Carlo, please don’t change your wood supplier – these sticks last a LONG time! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
Nick Lee –
Best drumsticks I ever used! I used to play Promark sticks, but after hearing about Coopergrooves, I had to see what all the hype was and tried them out for myself. Since I’ve tried them out, I’ve stopped using Promarks and made the switch to Coopergrooves. The grip is excelIent and the sticks can take a beating and will not break. These drumsticks, all around, are fantastic and I am proud to be a Coopergroove drumstick artist!
Elwin Molenaar –
The only sticks for me!
Jason Webb –
By far best sticks I have ever used, I have given 7 pairs of these away to fellow drummers.
The response is indescribable, well balanced, love the grooves for no slipping… I have played in the extreme heat conditions to the extreme cold and raining conditions and still no cramps no soreness, and not even the embarrassment of losing a stick. I highly recommend these to any drummer whether you are a beginner or a professional. And who can’t forget the man behind the making, he is such an awesome guy, so please just check them out he also guarantees if you don’t like them then money back, I don’t know a single person who has not liked them…
Joel Purkess –
No way to sum up these sticks in a simple review. I have toured the world and played over 1500 shows as a drummer. I try every pair of sticks in every music store I try and and most of them are ok at best. These sticks are a game changer. The fact that your hands won’t sweat are enough to buy already, but with the added stress relief on your hands and increased responsiveness you would be crazy not to buy these sticks. What are you waiting for, Carlo offers a 100% guarantee you will love your Cooper grooves. BUY THESE STICKS NOW
Ruben Sanchez Jr. –
I’ve been using cooper grooves over a year now. I’ve always had issues with numbness in my hands, cramping, sore fingers and dropped sticks. After switching over to cooper grooves all those problems ceased. I didn’t have to grip so tight on the sticks, no cramps in my hands, fingers aren’t sore after a show. The grooves on the stick actually feels like your getting a massage on your palms while you play.. my stick and grip control have improved so good that I had to upgrade to a 5B stick now!!!! Cooper grooves is a awesome company, Carlo will take care of you!!!! Happy to be apart of the cooper grooves family�
Felix Garza III –
These are my absolute favorite drumsticks of all time. The feel on them is a night and day comparison to other drumsticks. From improved grip to less fatigue; these sticks are an absolute must for drummers of any style. I’m sold on these and I won’t use anything else!
Kerstin Grund Man –
I could not find my own sound on the drums. My playing sounded poor, without good dynamic. I‘m a „small“ Person and to have a good punch on the drums was a challenge for me, pain in my arms followed the advice of my teachers to play louder. Fun was gone. That all changed when a good friend of mine told me about CooperGrooves! I bought my first pair and I‘m a happy drummer, now! ….and I love the colours! CooperGrooves are simply outstanding!
George Mora –
I’ve been playing drums for over 40 years now. I’ve used every brand ever made and CooperGrooves are, bar none, the best quality, longest lasting and most comfortable sticks I’ve ever used!
I’ve had 7 operations on my hands, including 2 carpel tunnel surgeries and , when I started using CooperGrooves, they became an extension of my hands. It was as if I was playing air with no discomfort, no cramping, totally the opposite! The more I played, the more energized I felt! Nothing compares or comes close to CooperGrooves! Once you try them you’ll never go back to anything else!
Steve Korasidas –
To often we as drummers get stuck in a comfort zone. I tried and have been using Cooper Grooves almost from day one.
If you can play pain free you can play longer. That makes you a fitter drummer, and hopefully a better player.
Jack Clark –
Cooper Grooves Rock!! I ordered my first pair a couple of years back when Carlo first started the business. I still have that pair of sticks, and they are still going strong. The grooves are very durable and have superior feel. Carlo is also very supportive of music education, and has been so gracious to donate a few pair from time to time to give away as door prizes at my student recitals. Being a teacher, it’s very important to have reliable equipment, and that starts with great sticks like Cooper Grooves! If you’re thinking about getting a pair, don’t hesitate.. Grab a pair today! You won’t be sorry.
Jonathan Kruit –
For me, Cooper Grooves have totally eliminated all arm pump, and hand cramping, which was causing major fatigue, and tons of dropped sticks. Before switching to Cooper Grooves back in late 2015 drumming was turning into a chore, and wasnt really very much fun. They have eliminated all my pain, and put all the enjoyment back into playing drums. Secondly, their durability are second to none. For years I played Vic Firth 5BN’s. They were constantly breaking. Sometimes after only half an hour. I can honestly say, I’d go thru 3-5 pairs of VF’s for every 1 pair of Cooper Grooves if not sometimes more. Last but not least, the customer service has no equal. Carlo is absolutely one of nicest, most genuine guys Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. He genuinely cares about each and every person that buys his product, and strives to make sure they are happy with their sticks, and their overall experience with Cooper Groove in general. All are treated like a human, not just a number, and that goes a long way in my book.
Scott Dulecki –
CooperGroove sticks give me confidence to play full out without worrying about seeing a stick launch into the air or falling out of my cramped and numb hands after pushing my own limits. Fantastic!
5 stars
Chuck Cole –
I have been using “Cooper Groove” sticks , exclusively for the last year or so. Absolutely love them! They are the best sticks I have used in years! Very comfortable to play with and keep my hands from becoming fatigued. I love the way the Grooves massage your hands as you do your thing. And the confidence of not losing a stick in the middle of a fill etc. , is awesome! I have pairs of the Pearl tips , wooden tips , and the dipped ones , and I enjoy playing with all of them. Do yourself a solid , and try these if you haven’t already. Carlo has really done a fantastic job with these sticks! I can’t say enough positive things about Carlo and his wonderful product! Well done my friend!
Mando Luis –
Before happening upon a Cool Stuff for Drummers Facebook Group CooperGrooves Post coming on two years ago now, I had tried just about every type of drumstick imaginable–buying and/or trying out 50+ different pairs of concert, jazz, Latin, marching, and orchestral drumsticks from the likes of Cooperman, Innovative Percussion, Promark, Regal Tip, Silver Fox, Vater, Vic Firth, Zildjian etc.
On a cold and blustery day in November 2015, I finally decided to buy and try out my first pair of CooperGrooves–with a forgivable sense of skepticism. With just one little lick of flams and singles on my drum pad though, my hands and mind were HOOKED!
I would dare try to play with my old pairs of sticks in utter disappointment for a few days after, but nothing felt right with seeing how easily they would chip and break on me with minimal use. I quickly put my hands back on the 5B CooperGrooves and went to town on them–seeing no breakage or cracks in them at all until 8 months later from moderate-to-heavy daily drumming on the drum pad and drumset.
The rest has been percussion history with this phenomal craftmanship of American hickory!
No matter what drumming background you come from or music you strive to learn, CooperGrooves will help satisfy your carnal need to burn!
Carlo not only keeps you in the loop on shipping, but what is to come from behind the scenes with his lovely company and the wonderful friends who have theirs as well. Try to get that quality of product and service together from those other brands of drumsticks I mentioned!
The best sticks there are; the best sticks there were; and the best sticks there ever will be in universal existence!

CooperGroove drumsticks have changed everything for me. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus and Fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases that attack my joints, muscles, nerves. As a professional drummer I play several hours per day ( as i have energy) and several gigs per week and i was starting to drop sticks, and my hands were cramping so badly that i couldnt play. I heard about Coopergrooves and contacted Carlo asking if they could help me. I met him with at the NAMM show in January and played with my first pair… I immediately felt the difference. Less muscle strain and fatigue, better grip, and i could play longer without the muscle tiredness that i wad having before. I refuse to play with or perform with any other sticks. I love them so much that I now officially endorse Coopergroove Precision Drumsticks! In my opinion ALL drummers can benefit from using these sticks.

Cooper Grooves are the best. I’ll never go back. They are durable, easy on the hands, keep the hands dry to minimize slip! Love them. They also last longer, so they are worth the extra money.

I had all but given up on playing without pain. I skeptically watched these sticks gain some great reviews. I finally bit the bullet and bought my first pair. Holy sheep sh!t batman I was blown away. No more cymbal shock, no more fatigue, no more numbness and cramping. I was able to play longer and hit more precise than I had been able to with the other “Big 3”. After spending thousands of dollars drum related products i had never even talked to anyone from any of these companies. Carlo reached out to make sure I was satisfied with his product. I was sold on the sticks before ever talking to Carlo, but after our interaction and seeing how he really cares about the people playing his incredible sticks I decided I would never play another brand. Thank You Carlo Cooper and all the Cooper Groovers. Try them you will love them.
Mr. DrumSmith…

These are the most amazing sticks I have ever used. I tried one of my many other pairs after using my cooper groves and within seconds had to go right back to my awesome cooper groves. Thanks Carlo for developing these for us.

I love my Cooper Groove Drumsticks! They are the best on the planet! They are my choice of Drumsticks for the fact they help me to keep my hands from going numb or falling asleep, they increase my grip by at least 90% by not having so much sweat in my hands apposed to using drumsticks without grooves and your sweat so much your drumsticks go flying out of your hands! Carlo invented the best drumsticks ever and I am honored to be a part of the Cooper Groove family and proudly endorse them. Thank you Carlo, you the man with the master plan for sure!
