At that time, Cappella made drumsticks for Vic Firth, Gretsch, Slingerland, Latin Percussion, Tama, Ludwig, Zildjian, Rogers, Premier, Fibes, Dean Markley and many other private label companies. Cappella has also previously made drumsticks for Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Bernard Purdie, Carl Allen, Joe Morello and so many more...
As everyone knows, the Cappella drumstick is hand dipped in the Cappella finish which has not changed in over 40 years.
Cappella has combined both the history of yesterday and the technology of today ensuring that drummers will not be able to find a better drumstick! At the same Cappella factory, the staff still uses the same tooling from when Cappella made sticks for many of the greatest all-time drummers and many of the companies who create their own drumsticks today.
Joe Loria, a drummer and retail customer of Cappella's for over 23 years could not let the legacy of Cappella Drumsticks die. Joe, knowing the history of the company and the Cappella finish, he vowed to continue on with the legacy that Tom and John worked so hard to create. In essence, Joe Loria bought Cappella to save tradition.
With years of drumming and retail experience behind him, he has heard the drummers' needs and is able to adapt to their ever changing styles enabling Cappella to hold on to it's heritage while keeping up with the current trends.
