STICKS & BRUSHES

 CHOOSING DRUMSTICKS

SRH (short round head) medium weight sticks and adaptable to many playing styles

7A is a lighter and narrower stick ideal for younger players

5A is an average size stick, suitable for most players, most of the time

5B is a heavier and fatter size stick, ideal for playing heavy rock style.

Maple sticks are lighter than Hickory or Oak so you could be playing with a larger diameter stick without having a heavy or slow and sluggish feel,

Having wooden tips will offer a warmer and quieter sound.

Heavier sticks will produce a heavier, fatter sound. Lighter sticks may be for soft playing or just a more comfortable feeling as you play. Longer drumsticks produce an easier reach to your cymbals but they are not good for fast playing.
