Personalized and customized drumsticks can be very attractive. Drummers and percussion are able to add their own features to the sticks they use.
Professional or amateur drumming is like every other trade or profession known to man in which actions are carried out with the use a of an important implement. With drumming, especially the playing of drum sets and marching drums, the drumstick is at the core of the drummers' activities. The saying "different strokes for different folks" applies to this situation in an ironic way in that, different drummers even within a particular genre of music will play differently, however slightly.

Differences in taste also inspire the many custom designs that drummers may want to apply to the drumsticks they use. The various graphical and physical nuances that drummers may request for their drumsticks are even more numerous than the size ranges for drumsticks. Companies such as Pro-mark, Vater, Zildjian and Vic Firth are famous for turning out celebrity signature drumstick editions.
These drumsticks are usually tailored to the liking of top drummers. These models are then commercialized with the drummer's name, popularity, reputation and image as the driving force which markets the sticks. However, some sticks only bear the autograph of celebrity drummers.
