Drumsticks

[arkofmiracles]

Doesn't anyone use Zildjian sticks?
I'm still using them after 2 years so far.

Got a sig series Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez pair, very light, very fast, very precise, small head. Nice rebound on most drum heads i've tried too. But it can get quite painful for your fingers after a long time since the pressure will be higher.

The other one I just got is something thicker and bigger, Maple Acorn Tip...uh. 16in, Ø.62. It's the maple series so it's lighter than it looks, hahah.

And yeah, I'm a fan of light sticks. ^^
Might wanna try some Ahead sticks too, a friend of mine recommends.
Anyone with Ahead sticks? Do tell us something bout them in this thread too.

arkofmiracles: read the thread man, Nike bro and I are using Zildjian's

I've been meaning to try out 7A's from Pro-Mark. I'm currently using 3drumsticks which has been working well with me. But has anyone been to Yamaha recently? Are the 7A wood-tips in stock?

My favourites are Pro-mark Carter Beauford & Mike Portnoy signature sticks.

Actually Zildjian jazz 5A sticks are quite handy.

Besides that, I use Pro-mark Nylon Brush but planning to change into steel brush because -- there's no steel hook in the back of this Nylon Brush which means it can't give you the "Ding" sound when you knock it on any bell or cymbal. So yeah, Zildjian steel brush looks better.

A pair of multi-rod too, to be used in indoor occasion.

Zildjian 5B (which was recommended by the Yamaha school) is the most among all wood sticks, and it lasted 2 years for me. ^ ^" All the other sticks broke within 3 months. T_T

If you're tiring of buying new sticks, use, crack them, re-buy, use, crack.... and so for, you can think of "Ahead" drum sticks. ;-)

"Ahead" polymer drum sticks are expensive but it's the most durable stick I used ever, Joey Jordison (Slipknot) uses it!

Ooops, they didn't pay me any advertisement fee, I just like it. ^ ^

I'm using Billy Cobham's signature model, "SBC" by Vic Firth. Really tough drumstick, can take a bashing, and excellent for snare drum work also. Been using them for the last 6 years.
