Rohema expands Fusion drumsticks with three new balanced models
Rohema’s new Fusion sticks aim at drummers chasing better rebound, while its pad sticks and 8-inch practice pad turn the line into a real practice system.
Rohema’s Fusion line just got more useful for real players, not just gear collectors. The German stick maker added three new models, the 5AL Fusion, 5BL Fusion and 7A Fusion, and the update lands where drummers actually feel it: stick balance, rebound, volume control and how hard practice tools make you listen to your own hands.
The clearest case for switching is in the 5AL Fusion and 7A Fusion. Rohema says the Fusion concept pairs American hickory, a wax-oil finish, barrel tips and a double-taper, double-shoulder shape to keep the center of gravity in check and improve rebound. The 5AL Fusion measures 419 mm long and 14.3 mm in diameter, with Rohema saying the extra length helps shorten movements and make fills more efficient. The 7A Fusion comes in at 407 mm by 13.5 mm, which should make it the better fit for drummers who want a slimmer stick with a little more reach than a standard small-diameter 7A.
That matters because the Fusion idea is not about reinventing the hand feel of a classic stick. It is about nudging familiar sizes into a slightly more responsive place. In practice, that means the 5AL Fusion should suit players who want more body for accents and cymbal work without giving up speed, while the 7A Fusion makes more sense for ghost-note detail, fast passages and lighter hands that still need a defined cymbal sound. Rohema says the barrel tip gives the cymbal attack presence and projection, which is useful if you need articulation to cut without going to a heavier model.
The new pad gear feels less like a side note and more like the point for drummers who live on a practice pad between gigs, rehearsals and warm-ups. Rohema says its Pad Sticks were developed specifically for pad practice so strokes are transmitted unaltered, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to hear sloppy timing or weak rebound. The standard Pad Stick Light is 420 mm long, 17.6 mm in diameter and made from North American hard maple. Rohema also offers an 8-inch Light & Easy Practice Pad with a felt surface for natural rebound and a non-slip rubber-cork underside, a setup that looks aimed at keeping the practice feel close to a kit without adding much volume.
Rohema first launched Fusion in 2024, and this expansion shows the company knows where the value is now. The brand, family-run since 1888 and taken over by Matthias and Andreas Hellinger in 1989, has long sold craftsmanship and consistency. Fusion is the same story in a more practical register: small geometry changes, better rebound, and a practice setup that actually earns its place on the stand.
