Hornwood is one of the most distinctive materials Rohema uses to make drumsticks, and it isn't a “wood” in the classic sense. It is actually a maple laminate created from several layers of this wood pressed and bonded together under high pressure. The result is an extremely dense, compact and resistant material. Hornwood is a modern solution that combines the lightness of maple with far greater resistance, ideal for drummers who break sticks frequently or who are after a powerful, consistent sound.

• Exceptional durability: thanks to the density of the laminate, the sticks withstand far more wear than traditional maple or hickory ones.
• Medium-high weight: being denser, Hornwood adds more weight than maple, but without feeling as “heavy” as other exotic woods. This helps achieve more punch and projection in the sound.
• Defined rebound: the rigidity of the material gives a fast response, favouring precision in styles that require control and clear attacks.
• Balanced feel in the hand: although robust, they keep a comfortable ergonomics, designed for those who want sticks that last and endure intense sessions.
