OQAN QPH-5AM - Maple Drumsticks 5A and 5B
Discover precision, feel, and musicality with the OQAN QPH-5AM drumsticks, crafted from high-quality maple wood. Designed for drummers seeking a quick response and exceptional control, these sticks are a versatile and reliable tool for both studio sessions and live performances. Maple wood is known for its lightness and flexibility, allowing for agile playing and reducing hand fatigue during long practice sessions. This model is available in the two most popular sizes, 5A and 5B, to perfectly suit your playing style and needs.
The choice of maple wood is no accident. This material, less dense than hickory or oak, offers a lighter feel and a more pronounced rebound. This translates into less effort required to generate speed, facilitating the execution of complex rhythmic patterns and fast fills. Furthermore, maple absorbs some of the vibrations upon impact, providing a softer and more comfortable feel. Its acorn-shaped (or teardrop-shaped) wooden tip has been carefully designed to deliver a warm and defined sound on cymbals, and a round, full-bodied attack on drums and toms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between maple wood and hickory wood?
- Maple is a lighter and more flexible wood than hickory. This provides a faster feel and less fatigue, but also makes the drumsticks slightly less durable. Hickory is denser and absorbs impact better, making it a more robust option for high-hitting styles.
- Should I choose 5A or 5B?
- The choice depends on your musical style and personal preference. The 5A series are thinner and lighter, making them very versatile for almost any genre. The 5B series are thicker and heavier, offering greater volume and power, so they are recommended for rock and heavier styles.
- Does the wooden tip affect the sound?
- Yes. Wooden tips offer a warmer, darker, and more natural sound, especially on cymbals. They are the standard in most musical styles. Nylon tips, on the other hand, produce a brighter, more defined sound and are more durable.
- Are these drumsticks suitable for beginners?
- Yes, the 5A model in particular is one of the most recommended options for beginner drummers due to its great versatility and balance, which allows the musician to comfortably explore different styles.
