Now, you can own and play these legendary sticks. Crafted from premium hickory, they’re made to Bonzo’s original dimensions and weight and feature his original signature logo too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrafted from premium hickory\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade to John Bonham’s original dimensions and weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeatures John Bonham’s original signature logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWooden tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in 1964, the British Professional Music Company started making drumsticks in Yorkshire, England. After a couple of years of local success, a certain Buddy Rich caught on to the sticks and helped introduce them to the American market. Subsequently, Promuco sticks came to the attention of a growing number of influential drummers, and it was during the early 70s that Zeppelin’s powerhouse, John Bonham had his own sticks commissioned by the British manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom that point on, Bonzo’s ‘Trees’ — as he called them — banged the skins of hundreds of kits, creating an era-defining, iconic sound that is still revered by drummers around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePromuco’s John Bonham sticks were available to buy through to the mid-1990s as part of the Promuco range, until the company ceased trading and manufacture in the early 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJanuary 2020 saw the reissue of these iconic sticks under the original Promuco brand, now in the ownership of the original British distribution company, Barnes and Mullins. Made to the same exacting standards as the 70s versions, Promuco’s reissued signature JB sticks conform to the same weight and dimension profile as the much sought-after originals and feature the legendary ‘acorn-shaped’ wood tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSticks played by John are now highly prized artifacts of rock and roll history, with a pair on prominent display in the Hard Rock Café in Biloxi, Mississippi. Occasionally, original used drumsticks will still surface at auction houses, with some selling for thousands of pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Promuco Percussion — which still has its base here in the United Kingdom — the brand is incredibly proud to have one of the all-time great drummers as one of its legacy artists. The company is delighted to make these wonderfully tough sticks available once more to music stores and drummers the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving worked closely with the Bonham estate through the Led Zeppelin and John Bonham licence holders, you can be sure that these John Bonham sticks are an officially licensed and approved product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeneral\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: Premium hickory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength: 41 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter: 1.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Wooden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Promuco\u003cbr\u003eModel: 19015JB\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I716041-N-12-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 5036678116595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
