Ripstix® are bright green, lightly weighted, quarter‑pound exercise sticks created specifically for every POUND format. They’re shorter than a standard 5B wooden drumstick, but they create a similar sound when they hit the mat. The big difference is in how they’re engineered.
Ripstix are made from durable, high‑quality plastic that can handle repeated impact, fast movements, and long sessions. They support proper form, help activate upper‑body muscles, and are built for safety throughout every strike and repetition. Because they’re made from non‑porous material, they’re also easy to clean and disinfect between classes.
Traditional 5B wooden drumsticks are designed only for playing drums. They’re not built for high‑intensity fitness use, they can splinter or break with repeated impact, and they’re harder to sanitize because of their porous surface.
Ripstix are a core part of the POUND experience, giving you the feel of a drummer with the function of a fitness tool.
