Mark(et)ing the beast that is PCS should seem fairly straightforward. Tell people how great they are and sell the shit out of them (using the various online mediums). Easy, right? No, well, not exactly. When we published the first article about the online store, the new and exciting experience that would be the answer to all our dreams sort of, well, the unexpected happened. Here's the actual comment quote reenactment from social media, “Dude, why are your sticks…a tad bit more expensive than the nine dollar sticks I break like so many fortune cookies at a Chinese buffet after eating a whole plate of crabs with super weak ass exoskeletons? In effect, they break like so many fragile lead crystal vases that I accidently dropped my cannonball on.”
That’s a fair question, strong and mighty even, like our sticks, I would add, but fair. So much so it prompted us to want to address what happened this dark and weary night on the social media, in front of everybody, and turn it into free marketing for our sticks.
So, here it is. A very real response to a highly reasonable request (by probably our smartest "like" ever).
6 Solid, Strong MFing Reasons to Buy PCS Peridore Custom Sticks!
Before I get into all that though I want to be objective and balanced about all this and give a little background as to why I would take seriously comments from people I do not know on the Internet, in effect, I did a little of “the research” on the actual Internet and here’s a brief summary of what I found *equips lab coat*:
PCS and everyone involved understands why the product is so awesome, but in spite of the higher cost, we tend to overlook these very real concerns (because of the quality).
Therefore, because our customers are definitely money conscience, I mean who's not, before I attribute all the badassness that I am about to attribute to these sticks, I wanted the readers and the guys with these very same concerns to understand we take this serious.
You want a cheaper stick and we say good, this is how it works!
What we want you to know first and foremost, price aside (we will get to that) the guys or gals using these sticks are hitting them hard like that guy who wants to date your daughter. They are so serious, seasoned warriors, veterans (or victims or both) of that sexy beast bitch that is the road, and when they use PCS and say these sticks are the MFing best, we believe them, and so should you.
Given that fact, the rest you are about to read should play heavily into your decision to buy these sticks, being the money conscience badass you truly are!
So finally, here it is:
6 Solid, Strong MFing Reasons to Buy PCS Peridore Custom Sticks!
1.Durability: Lasts 3-4 times longer! Especially if you’re an electronic drummer or robot (in space)!
Actual Internet Quotes:
“I ordered two pair last October. Still rocking one pair. First pair lasted until first of this month. FYI, not in a band or doing gigs, but still played 3-4 times a week. I suggest giving them a try.
--The Wise and Sage Jerry Hagedorn (likely of Viking heritage)
“PCS are crafted from a high quality hickory and last 3-4 times longer than that 9-dollar pair.”
--Mysterious (Biased) Masked Drumstick Blogger
But, my words only pale in comparison to other sharper, brighter, smarter, thesaurus etc. etc Internet future PCS marketing correspondent, the clever, able, and quick Chris Deal, “Let’s say you buy your go to 5A Guitar Center for $9-10 after tax and transportation down there. Let’s also say you are not a heavy hitter, but your 5A usually last you a practice and a gig if you’re lucky. These sticks are not made of the Walmart and Detroit thinking. Mr. David Peridore wants his sticks to last! In the same scenario you would get 3 practices and 3 gigs. So, in the end you save money. You can keep buying cheap shit or buy a quality that last.”
“Walmart Detroit thinking” is about the most metal thing I’ve read since the lyrics to Rain in Blood! I just took a shot. You just can’t argue with that shit or these brilliant MFer’s!
2.O-Rings: Stays In Your Hands and Comfortable!
“They felt great, were solid as hell, had great response, cool (patented) O-Rings for grip.”
--Nathan Richardson, Hell Came Home
I can’t go into detail, I did once have secret level government clearance, so my secret is safe, but this patented O-Ring technology is probably manifested from aliens, area 51, lizard men, thesaurus, etc.
PCS really touched on something significant when they uncovered this misunderstood cave niche. It just goes to show the importance of true craftsmanship and expertise!
3.Handmade, Locally Made, Made in the USA!
PCS are handmade right here in the USA! A guy named “Tennessee” David “Dave-O” Peridore actually whittles these thing out daily! The money you spend goes right back into the community, music community, and helps fuel local economy! Not that other country!
4.Musician Tested and Supported!
Don’t let me scare you when I say “whittle”, David or as his friends call him, “Dave-O” is a true craftsman as well as hard hitting, machine gun-like, annihilating skin destroyer. His percussion resume is long and distinguished and he is equally as talented using the sticks as he is making them. He’s thought through—all the issues drummers face and really has the solution in these sticks! It’s no tagline when I say these will be the only sticks you will ever buy.
5.Affordable Compared to the Competition!
I’m no math wizard, just a wizard, but it doesn’t take a first-grader to figure out the “buy quality” savings concept.
Follow me here, it’s part word problem, I think:
X+Poop=Average shit sticks 9-10 bucks, made some place other than the USA, probably secretly stamped in invisible ink “Made for Little Girls” somewhere too, JS, you use them one show? One practice, maybe on a good night a show and a practice? If you’re super F-ing lucky!
PCS+quality+craftsmanship+secret+hickory+wood+formula=Any pair $15.99 plus shipping, around 20 bucks to get them into your hands and playing. Lasts 4-5 shows, several practices. Every time, not if you’re lucky.

- The average drumstick sale tends to be around ten-dollars (pair).
- At the same time that audience encompasses mostly new musicians, educational and formal musicians such as marching bands…
- And the average guy playing weekend shows that can barely afford the ten-dollar stick. ß This dude or dudette is actually keeping the drumstick market alive!
