I know this isn't exactly a recording question. But I figured I'd ask it here. I'm having a problem choosing sticks. I've been playing drums for many years now, and have always come up against the same problem.
I like Promark's sticks because of the shape of the wooden bead. It doesn't fracture and split. However, the actual strength of the stick is rather weak in comparison to a Vic Firth stick. I like Vic Firth because they make the sticks to last, an they don't break near as easy as a Promark. Unfortunately, Vic Firth's bead shape is such that the bead chips apart a little every time I play. And then I don't get the same feel and touch on the cymbals and hihat.
I know some of you would suggest nylon tips, but I don't play with plastic. Lol. I hate the sound.
Is there another brand out there that you would suggest, or am I doomed to going through two pairs of Promarks every couple days?
