Drumsticks for Drums and Percussion

The right drumsticks are an essential part of any drum and percussion setup. High-quality drumsticks like the Sela Professional Drumsticks provide a comfortable playing experience, precise control, and a balanced sound. They should fit comfortably in your hand and not be too heavy. Sela drumsticks are made of sturdy maple, which is slightly lighter than hickory, for example, and produces an excellent sound. Especially during long sessions, drumsticks made of lighter wood like maple put less strain on the joints and forearms compared to American hickory.
The shape of the tip on a stick also has a major influence on the sound. A round wood tip produces a clear cymbal sound, while other tip shapes deliver more attack or volume. Sela drumsticks with an acorn tip impress with a full, assertive sound, whereas models with an oval tip offer balanced response and precise articulation. As a popular alternative for quieter playing, Rods combine the feel of classic drumsticks with reduced volume. Sela Drumsticks are the perfect all-rounders for a wide variety of musical genres—from soft rock and pop to country and rockabilly.

Brushes for subtle sounds and quiet playing

For anyone who wants to elicit softer, more controlled tones from their drum set or cajon, brushes are the ideal choice. They produce a gentler attack than traditional drumsticks and offer a particularly dynamic playing experience—ideal for acoustic sessions or quieter, expressive grooves. Modern brushes offer versatile applications, especially on the cajon, by combining the familiar handling of a stick with the soft feel of classic brushes. The Straw Brushes 180, a combination of jazz brushes and rods, provide a controlled playing feel with a pleasant response for more subtle grooves and dynamic accents. An indispensable accessory for all cajon players are the Sela Cajon Brushes, which can be precisely adjusted thanks to their sliding rubber rings. This allows them to produce a wide range of sounds—from pronounced bass tones to clear slaps and finely nuanced percussion sounds.

Mallets for warm tones and versatile sounds

Mallets are ideal for atmospheric sounds, dynamic accents, and meditative soundscapes. Singing bowls, gongs, and timpani reach their full sonic potential when played with the Double Mallet. The sturdy beechwood handle, featuring two felt balls of different sizes, allows for dynamic playing, depending on how pronounced the volume and resonance should be. The Crystal Bowl wooden mallet was developed specifically for crystal singing bowls and is perfect for gently striking and rubbing them. With a handle made of Southeast Asian schima wood and a rubber head, it sets the bowls into vibration and produces a variety of tones. Also perfect for singing bowls are the Sela Crystal Bowl Mallets, crystal rubbers that are either fully or partially coated with silicone. By rubbing or gently striking them, they gently set the bowls into vibration and produce a wide variety of tones.
