For Those in the Arena
Artifact started with a simple belief: percussionists deserve better gear.
What began as a small project between two college percussionists has grown into a company trusted by performers, educators, and ensembles across the country. Through it all, our goal has remained the same: create sticks and mallets with exceptional feel, dependable durability, and thoughtful designs that serve the people using them.
We're still players ourselves, and every product we make is shaped by the experiences, challenges, and moments that define marching percussion.
Our storySnare & Quad Sticks
We don't believe in designing sticks just to fill catalogs. Every model in our battery lineup earns its place by offering something genuinely different, giving performers a focused selection of tools built to perform at the highest level.
Bass Drum Mallets
Bass drummers shouldn't have to sacrifice feel. The Brawler lineup features a unique handle design inspired by the comfort and control of a marching stick, paired with hard felt heads for that classic bass drum tone.
Great sound means nothing if your gear can't survive the season. That's why we designed our front ensemble lineup to stand up to long rehearsal blocks, changing weather, and everything else thrown your way - while still delivering the clarity, warmth, projection, and power performers need to bring every phrase to life.
