... and my countrymen over at Wincent do them even longer (by a mm):
Drumsticks Material: Hickory wood, Wooden tips (teardrop-shaped), Slightly longer than 5AXLs for more power and even further reach, Length: 433 mm, Diameter: 14.3 mm
The Vinnie Paul’s are 16 7/8” but the balance is wonky.
I have one pair of the Regal Tip Quantum 9000’s and they’re 17 1/2” long. Just unuseable for kit work.

Hun in China makes some quite long sticks for marching and orchestra. They are fairly expensive even right here, but the good thing is they are customisable so they can be made even longer on demand
