How Brisbane Custom Drumsticks Began
Hi, I’m Glenn — an amateur drummer, just like most of you.
I started playing drums young, trained professionally for several years, played in bands, and later became a drum teacher. But like many drummers, life got busy. Work, family, neighbours, sleeping kids — the biggest problem became volume.
Practising on an acoustic kit was simply too loud. Like most players, I tried muting kits, dampeners, mesh heads, and expensive noise-reduction products. They either killed the sound, felt terrible to play, limited technique, or cost more than the drum kit itself.
While teaching drums, I realised this wasn’t just my problem. Many players had stopped progressing — or stopped playing altogether — because they couldn’t practise properly at home.
So I did what I’d always done in my career: I looked for a better solution.
Instead of changing what you play on, I focused on changing what you play with.
After years of testing and prototyping in my workshop, I developed wooden, normal-sized drumsticks that reduce attack and volume while keeping the natural feel, rebound, and sound of an acoustic kit. Sticks that let you play properly — rimshots, cross-sticks, cymbal bells — and still easily control your playing volume for everyone around you.
There’s no such thing as silent drumming, but there is a smarter way to control volume.
l knew if I needed this solution others would too.
Happy drumming,
Glenn
Our Products
What We Make
🥁 Suburban Sticks 5B
Designed for acoustic and unplugged playing, Suburban Sticks reduce stick attack to help control volume without sacrificing feel or technique.
They allow you to play your full acoustic kit as it was meant to be played — just quieter. Perfect for home practice, suburban living, and low-volume band settings.
🪣 Bucket Sticks 5B
Playing on hard surfaces removes natural rebound and sends harsh vibration back into your wrists.
Bucket Sticks restore rebound on any hard surface, allowing proper technique, rolls, and control while reducing strain and fatigue. Ideal for bucket drumming, street practice, and off-kit training.
🥁 Low-Volume Bass Beater
The bass drum is one of the hardest parts of the kit to quieten.
This low-volume bass beater offers a fast, simple solution by reducing attack while maintaining your bass drum’s natural sound — no head changes, no complicated setup.
