Im seeking any manufacturer of custom drumsticks (simple black logo) in Hickory 5A wood tip. Looking for a killer deal on 50-100 pairs.

You should also contact Frank Kincel at La Backbeat sticks. They are, by far, my favorite brand of sticks and are the best feeling and longest lasting sticks I have used. He sells his "Wonky" and blemished sticks for $2.50 a pair. He might be able to hook you up with a large lot for cheap, if you're not too fussy about everything being perfect.
Honestly, his "Wonky" sticks (that do not meet his quality control standards) are nearly the same as a first quality stick from other brands. That's how high his quality benchmark is! They might be slightly warped (but still perfectly useable). Most of them are 100% straight. I have used many of his "Wonky" sticks and they all feel great and last! You will not be disappointed by La Backbeat!

I have known Frank for years because he used to work at Scott's Drum Center. La Backbeat sticks last longer than any other wooden sticks I have used. I have been playing drums for over fifty years and have played almost every stick out there. Peace and goodwill.
Which grade and size did you buy? Trying decide if I should buy some player grade pairs or take a chance on wonky. I do like that he offers the player grade ones not matched; I mix all mine anyway and that is perfect for me. Seems like the 565 is the closest to a typical 5A.I just received a few pair of La Backbeat sticks that I ordered based on your recommendations, and so far I'm really impressed with them. I can't comment on durability yet but they feel and play great! Thanks!
