Drumstick with rubber grip

[metaldude]

hey guys do you know where i can get a drumstick that has a rubber grip at its handle?i used to own a unigrip stick and it was my favourite,but unfortunately i broke it while jamming.i bought it at drum resources,which has now move to bugis and only open at times when i have to work,so i have to find an alternative.any suggestions where i can find one?

i prefer the ones that come with its own grip.i tried taping myself but it felt weird when i played.

Personally, I can't stand the zildjian ones. There's just something not quite right about them to me...

Vic firth has a new stick out called Vicgrip, it's got grip on it and feels better than the Zildjian one. It's not out here yet though, only in the states so you gotta wait a while.

Buy a badminton grip or tennis grip or squash grip. U can choose ur own colour. taping it is easy cause u can remove it. yeap. absorbs sweat like mad. 3 of my sticks are badminton grip -taped. where as the drum stick grip out there cost $17. goodness.

if i am not mistaken, FAD media sells unigrips sticks. IF i remembered clearly, i've used them before when i jammed at FAD. not sure about the price though.
