Re: What kinda drumsticks?

2002-09-14 by hairytrigger

I agree with walt. I've used both. Both seem to work equally well. The 
wood tips last much longer on rubber pads than brass cymbals! And I 
too use a lighter stick. It seems to be easier to get the full dynamic 
range from the system. This can be especially helpful if you are a 
hard hitter anyway.
Since you brought it up, I have been wondering what stick choices 
other acoustic-to-electronic transplants have made.
