Re: [DTXpress] Drum Sticks

2006-03-02 by Mose

I had a problem with hitting a little too hard, and getting a vibration off the sticks which really bothered me. I noticed someone uses the Zildan AntiVibe stick, and I may try them. I went an bought the Vic Firth E-Sticks. They seem a little lighter than a 5B, and are a little longer. the bead is also more round than a 5B. I like them alot, and will pick up a couple more pairs.

Greetings:

I know this is a lame question, but I am in the process of selecting
some drum sticks. I am a keyboard player in general but acquired a
DTxpressIII SP and have little experience on drums, let a lone E-
Drums.

Any of you folks have suggestions / guidence on stick selection. Way
too many brands, sizes, tips, etc.

I bought some cheap ones with plastic tips. They lasted a little
while. Now I want something more in line with what others generally
use.

My personal music style would be more 80's Synth Pop, but some of the
folks I practice with are moderately aggressive rockers. I also need
sticks for my DD55's that I use as MIDI controllers for synths and
for percussion effects.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Best regards;

Peter B.
