ProMark Hickory JZ "Jazz" Elvin Jones Wood Tip Drumstick
Graceful, articulate, and steeped in legacy—the ProMark Hickory JZ “Jazz” Elvin Jones Signature Drumsticks are built with the kind of touch, tone, and response that jazz players dream of. Designed in tribute to the late, great Elvin Jones, these sticks aren’t just tools—they’re extensions of expression, perfect for drummers who demand subtlety and musical sensitivity in every swing.
Crafted from select American hickory, the JZ sticks offer the ideal blend of resilience and feel. They're light enough for intricate phrasing but tough enough to handle a late-night set that turns into a sunrise jam. The long, slim neck gives them a whippy, dynamic response, perfect for delicate brush-offs, crisp comping, and ride cymbal patterns that shimmer and sing.
The oval wood tip is the secret sauce here. It delivers a warm, rounded tone—never harsh, always smooth—making these sticks an outstanding choice for traditional jazz setups, bop kits, or any setting where cymbal tone is king. Whether you're feathering the kick or laying into a pocket groove, the ProMark JZ lets your voice shine through.
Many of the seasoned players who visit Musicmaker swear by these sticks when they need something elegant, responsive, and expressive—just like Elvin himself.
