At Techra, nature meets elegance, design, and advanced technology to create the rhythm of perfection.
We combine our design expertise, technological innovation, and meticulous attention to detail to deliver high performance, maximum durability, elegance, and comfort.
Every element of our drumsticks reflects cutting-edge design, where beauty and style harmonize with innovative materials like carbon fiber. Techra is more than an innovative brand; it is a promise: to beat time, to push every boundary, and to empower those who turn music into art to achieve perfect control, unparalleled sound, and an authentic experience transformed into pure emotion.
Techra was founded in 2005 by Alessandro and Riccardo Bordignon, driven by a deep passion for music and technology. This shared vision sparked the desire to create a brand dedicated to accessories for musicians.
A key factor in Techra’s foundation was the strong heritage of Tecnoplast S.r.l., the family business specializing in the injection molding of high-performance mechanical components for demanding applications, particularly in the automotive sector, manufacturing to prestigious brands such as Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Volkswagen, McLaren, and Bentley.
The exceptional technical expertise and deep know-how developed within the family business were crucial for creating innovative and high-quality products under the Techra brand. These products stand out in the market for their uniqueness, not only at a technological level but also in their constant aim to meet an unmet need in the music market effectively.
Techra introduces its first innovation in the field of accessories for guitars and string instruments: picks. By combining advanced technology with qualitative excellence, the picks utilize exclusive, high-performance materials like carbon fiber. The patented design ensures a unique feature: the picks are distributed within a protective frame, enabling musicians to store and protect them optimally.
Building on the success of its picks, Techra launches a versatile guitar stand available in four sizes. Made from plastic and fiberglass, it adapts to various instrument shapes, from violins to electric basses.
Techra diversifies its catalog, introducing a range of new products, including drumsticks, to address the growing demand for durability among drummers. Power drumsticks offer an alternative to traditional wooden sticks, boasting superior durability, while Carbon Pro, made from carbon fiber, represents a true revolution. Sophisticated, lightweight, and five times more durable than wood, it sets a new standard in drumstick performance, five times more durable than wood.
Another product developed during this time is the Cable Spool: a spool for winding the guitar cable, still one of the accessories offered by Techra. Other products such as carbon bridges, plugs, and cases follow.
Techra begins a period of strong international expansion, investing heavily in participating in numerous trade fairs to promote the brand on a global scale.
Over the years, the company becomes aware of two key aspects related to its catalog, which will be crucial for the brand’s future turnaround: the products offered, while important in terms of innovation, quality, and design, are unfortunately requested by a small segment of the market. At the same time, while the catalog presents a high variety, each line is not sufficiently complete to adequately meet the demands. This is why Techra makes a strategic decision that will change its future: to eliminate a large part of the products and focus exclusively on carbon fiber drumsticks.
For the company, drumsticks represent not just a complete product that connects the brand to 90% of the global market but also carry a deeper meaning: they are the tool that allows drummers to fully express their art.
New models are developed: Hammer of the God, ideal for the metal and hard rock sector, with a lifespan six times longer than wood; XCarb, sophisticated, lightweight, and comfortable, four times more durable than wood; and Colossus, the top-of-the-line stick, dynamic, versatile, and refined, eight times more durable.
The catalog further expands with the birth of the E-Rhythm model, dedicated to electronic drums, and XCarb Supergrip, thin, fast, and particularly secure due to its non-slip grip.
The brand expands into other markets: in addition to Europe, Techra now reaches Canada, Japan, China, and South Korea.
Black Diamond is patented, a stick with unbeatable performance, ten times more durable than wood.
Black Diamond enters the USA market and, thanks to its superior comfort and durability, is appreciated by important American artists
A decisive turning point arrives: the company chooses to invest in a long-term growth project, aiming to bring Techra to international success through a structured evolution strategy.
An exclusive model of stick with a rounded tip, dedicated particularly to the world of jazz, is under development.
By the end of the year, the Marching Stick will also be presented, an ideal stick for marching bands, with uncompromising durability.
Techra embodies the perfect union of sustainability and innovation.
The materials used to craft our drumsticks are sourced from 70% renewable resources: for us, this is the true essence of sustainability. We have chosen plant-based raw materials over fossil-based ones, all while preserving one of humanity’s most essential natural resources: trees.
Innovation is a cornerstone of Techra. Most of our drumsticks are made with high-modulus carbon fibers, originally developed for the aerospace sector, offering significantly superior performance compared to standard carbon fiber. Additionally, the mixtures used in production are formulated in our dedicated R&D department, ensuring precision and meticulous execution throughout the entire process.
Moreover, all our products are fully recyclable in multi-material collection bins (plastic), ensuring their complete circularity.
The aesthetics of our drumsticks—pure and captivating—are the result of a manufacturing process where every detail counts, blending elegance with functionality to deliver excellence.
Each Techra drumstick is crafted for those who refuse to settle, who want to experience music with every fiber of their being, without compromise. Our instruments are designed to help you express yourself freely, confidently, powerfully, and authentically.
For those who not only keep the beat but transcend it.
It’s not just about playing; it’s about leaving a mark. Techra drumsticks are a symbol of change: a sound that never fades, an energy that never depletes. Instruments that live with you and for you, elevating every performance into an authentic connection with music, the audience, and the untamed rhythm of nature. With Techra’s unmatched durability, you’ll never be let down.
Techra’s durability never lets you down!
Techra drumsticks are the result of continuous research and material innovation, utilizing uncommon but high-performance carbon fibers originally developed for the aerospace sector, some of which are sourced from renewable materials.
This choice was made to significantly enhance the durability of drumsticks compared to traditional wooden ones, making them exceptionally resistant, long-lasting, and suitable for various drumming styles.
Our production process is a hallmark of innovation, developed internally by the R&D department at Tecnoplast. Techra drumsticks are crafted through a unique molding process, ensuring significant advantages such as exceptional lightness, vibration absorption, high wear resistance, and superior sound precision compared to wood.
Techra represents more than just technological innovation. It is the perfect fusion of design, aesthetics, and quality, where formal elegance serves as a valuable conduit for technical excellence. Our carbon drumsticks are deeply connected to nature, reflecting its intrinsic beauty and extraordinary strength, and translating the values of sustainability, innovation, and beauty into a precision instrument.
