Today we received an exciting inquiry from a customer in the U.S. — he’s looking for 100 pairs of giant drumsticks, each 36 inches long, with custom logos and branded sleeves. He needs them for a high-energy promotional event, and wants the drumsticks to make a real visual impact.
If you’re also looking for custom giant drumsticks, you’re not alone! More and more customers are asking for oversized drumsticks for use in parades, music festivals, school events, marketing campaigns, brand activations, and even retail displays.
In this post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about ordering custom giant drumsticks from our factory — from sizing to printing options, packaging, MOQ, and pricing.
🔥 Why Order Giant Drumsticks?
Giant drumsticks aren’t just fun—they’re functional! They draw attention instantly and can be customized to reflect your brand, team, or message.
Whether you’re:
-
Running a drumline or marching band
-
Hosting a school music day
-
Promoting a new product with a music theme
-
Organizing a music competition or fan giveaway
-
Displaying music-themed props in a store or window display
Giant drumsticks offer a bold, memorable visual impact that regular sticks just can’t match.
📏 What Size Is Considered “Giant”?
Standard drumsticks are typically around 16 inches in length. Our giant drumsticks start at 34 inches, and go all the way up to 36 inches or more — depending on your needs.
The most popular size?
✅ 36-inch drumsticks – ideal for dramatic stage presence or as oversized gifts.
We can also accommodate other sizes depending on your design vision.
🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Customize Your Giant Drumsticks
Let’s walk through the process of customizing your giant drumsticks with us at Ariose Music.
1. Choose the Size and Shape
Most customers choose 36-inch sticks, but we can produce 34″ before.
Pro Tip: If you’re not sure about the exact specs, just share your idea or a reference photo — our team can recommend the best solution.
2. Select the Wood Type
We use high-quality hardwoods that offer a good balance of durability and lightness. Most giant drumsticks are made from:
-
Maple: Lightweight and affordable
-
Hickory: Denser and more durable
-
Birch or Beech: Sturdy and smooth
- Ash
For extra-light requirements (such as parade props or costumes), we can also explore hollow-core designs or foam-filled options.
3. Add Your Custom Logo (Optional)
We offer custom logo printing directly on the drumsticks — either single color or full color, depending on your branding needs.
🖨️ Logo Printing Cost:
-
One-time setup/logo plate fee: $45.00
-
Unit cost: Varies based on order quantity (typically included for orders over 100 pairs)
We’ll confirm your logo format (vector preferred), provide mock-ups, and ensure it looks perfect on your sticks.
4. Design Custom Sleeves (Optional but Recommended!)
Want your drumsticks to look even more professional? Ask about our custom sleeves or packaging. These can be:
-
Printed cardboard sleeves with your logo
-
Plastic bags with labels
-
Gift-style wrap with branding
It’s a great option for giveaways, retail packaging, or event branding.
5. Confirm Your Quantity
We recommend a minimum order of 50–100 pairs for custom production. This helps optimize cost and ensure consistency.
For large events or promotional campaigns, we’ve produced up to 1,000+ pairs of custom giant drumsticks.
