Techra RAIKO – The World’s First Carbon Fiber Marching Sticks

The RAIKO series from Techra sets a new benchmark for modern marching performance. Designed for drumlines, marching bands, schools, and military units, RAIKO combines extreme durability with superior control—even in the most demanding environments.

Crafted from high-performance carbon fiber composite materials, RAIKO sticks last up to ten times longer than traditional wooden sticks. They are resistant to water, warping, cracking, and chipping, making them ideal for all-weather rehearsals and high-volume practice routines.

The integrated Techra Anti-Vibration System minimizes shock and vibration, providing exceptional comfort and reducing strain on wrists and joints during prolonged playing sessions.
