First off, I'm a guitarist and I do occasionally break a string, but lately it seems that every drummer I jam with goes through sticks like he is stocking up kindling for the winter. I'm just curious, do all drummers go through sticks like they have an endless supply? I don't know if they are using cheap sticks or just playing too hard. I'm looking for an average number from you guys so I will have a basis for suggesting they lighten up, and maybe a recommendation or two for better (tougher) sticks. Thanks in advance for any input.
