Our Story
We live and breathe drums.
#DrumsAreMe started with a simple belief: South African drummers deserve premium sticks at a price that doesn't break the bank. Every pair of Keep Time Studio sticks is built on that promise.
Good Wood, Perfected
It all started behind the kit. As working drummers, we were tired of the trade-off: pay a fortune for quality sticks, or settle for cheap ones that splinter after a few sessions.
We set out to change that. Keep Time Studio drumsticks are crafted from hand-selected American Hickory — the gold standard in drumstick wood. Each pair is precision-turned for consistent weight, balance, and response.
Available in 5A, 5B, EX5A, and EX5B sizes, with Natural, Black, and Pink finishes — there's a stick for every player and every style. And at R150 a pair, you can stock up without guilt.
