This is a quote from the "Black Page" Bopworks article.

Please support your local Drum Shops...
They're the ones who give us "little guys' a chance to get our stuff out there..

Q "How does one go about ordering your sticks? Are you strictly online or are you in music retail stores?"

A  "Both. But I urge all drummers to support their local drum shops. Seriously. I don't care what style you play. These guys are the most knowledgeable, service-oriented individuals you're going to get. Our online thing originally was to get our stuff out there and show dealers there was an interest. We'd much rather have people going to the dealers if they can find the sticks. "
