Scorpion Percussion is proud to announce the official Ernie Longoria Signature Drumstick, built for the longtime drummer of Sprung Monkey, one of San Diego’s most recognizable rock bands.
Ernie’s signature model is built around his preferred Scorpion setup:
8D | Barrel | 16.5” | Lacquer
Diameter: .555”
Length: 16.5”
Tip: Barrel
Finish: Lacquer
Series: Immortal Series Signature Model
Designed for speed, articulation, balance, and durability, the Ernie Longoria Signature Model pairs a fast .555” diameter with the extra reach of a 16.5” stick, the focused attack of a barrel tip, and the smooth feel of Scorpion’s lacquer finish.
For drummers who play with energy, power, and purpose, this model delivers a professional feel that is ready for the stage, studio, rehearsal room, and every show in between.
Built for Ernie Longoria of Sprung Monkey
Ernie Longoria has helped drive the sound of Sprung Monkey, a San Diego-native band known for its high-energy blend of rock, punk, alternative, and Southern California attitude.
His signature stick reflects that same feel: quick, controlled, articulate, and ready to work. The .555” diameter sits slightly above a traditional 7A but lighter and faster than a typical 5A. The 16.5” length adds a little extra reach without making the stick feel oversized, while the barrel tip brings definition and clarity to cymbals, ride patterns, and high-energy playing.
Built to the Immortal Series Standard
The Ernie Longoria Signature Drumstick is not just a name printed on wood. It is built to Scorpion Percussion’s Immortal Series Standard.
Every pair starts with premium American hickory and goes through Scorpion’s hands-on process in San Diego, California, including straightness checks, weight matching, tone sorting, finishing, printing, inspection, and fulfillment.
That means every pair of Ernie’s signature sticks is built for consistency, feel, durability, and performance.
