[robitusson]

Which brand, size and why?

 

[magicbastarder]

why? to hit the drums.

 

[Pedronimus]

Promark 5b or sometimes Promark 2A depending on how much I plan to rock out.

 

[DER]

Promark 5b's, Japanese Oak, wood tip. Strongest sticks I have played.

 

[Break Neck Speed]

Pro-mark 5b & vic firth 3a. I switch between the two for heft & speed.

 

[FERGLOR]

i found the jap oak promark 5bs broke way before the the standard promark 5bs..

might also be because i have a stick killing machine that is quite similar to this

 

[the departed]

7a to the grave..




..i have weak wrists.

 

[nofunchee]

vic firth 5a. they're cheap (if you buy them on the internet) and do the job grand.

I buy 5B's.. Without any name on them.

There not a make which mean i get them for around 2:50 and ive have actually found them lasting for longer than most vic firths.. maybe not pro mark. But yu can really afford to be buying sticks for 7quid a pop.

cheapo sticks are the job, just put 3 coats of a water based varnish on 'em and they last forever

Zildjian 5B with the rubber coating. It means you rarely drop them but gives you some pretty bad blisters if you dont take up your fingers.

 

[Willie Willions]

Vic Firth 5A,.

They're free if you steal them.

Been using these meself for about five or six years, with and without the rubber coating, great stick.

 

[emmyh]

vic firth 5a are best...dont get the plastic tipped ones tho, theyre shite..

 

[shower another shower]

promark 747's,
VF Stew Copeland's
and VF Terry Bozzio's.
all because they're about an inch longer than standard 5B's.
short penis.

 

[Stephen]

2Bs wood tips.
Mainly Vic firths (but just cos I don't any other brands around).
Cos anything else just flys out of my hand. And I kinda hurts my wrist. But I wouldn't say I'm a shining example of technic

Think I had a pair of Rik Allen (from Def Leppard) signature sticks once. They were more fun but mostly cos of the "did you have to buy two separate sticks" joke...
Bad man, I know..

 

[FERGLOR]

This is slightly cheaper than wwbw if you don't want a practice pad. The auld practice pad is mad handy though.
