Canada\'s drumstick manufacturer Los Cabos has reached an exclusive distribution agreement with British distributors Summerfield Musical Instruments Ltd for all Los Cabos products in the UK and Ireland. Larry Guay, president of Los Cabos Drumsticks, calls it \"a favorable agreement for both parties\". \"People in the UK are creatures of habit, and a new product has to be exceptional before they will accept it. Los Cabos Drumsticks offer sticks made from red hickory, something unique to the market which I\'m confident all drummers will love.\"
Red hickory is taken from the heart of the tree, a part that has been normally overlooked by other manufacturers due to availability and cost.
Lonnie Jones, Los Cabos\' Public Relations representative, explains:
\"There is only a small percentage of it that can be used, and that makes it more expensive. We found that it makes excellent drumsticks. It is more durable than other woods, and has a very aesthetically pleasing look, so we chose to integrate it into our product line.\"
Los Cabos was already available in Europe; in Germany and Austria, as well as the USA and Canada.
Summerfield Musical Instruments Ltd. is one of the UK\'s longest established musical instrument distributors. Their range include Evans drum heads and HQ Percussion, among many other brands.
