Sticks get splintered when you start hitting real metal cymbals (and rims). If you play with sticks that have been used on an acoustic kit, you may risk damaging at least the cymbal triggers on the DTXpress since the splintering is localised in that area. When I bought my kit, the next thing I got was some fresh new sticks and I've played the same pair for 6 months now and they're still as good as new! If you play a hybrid kit (with real cymbals) then you still should be OK since the area of the stick that gets damaged isn't likely to come into contact with the pad rubber....unless you play rimshots all the time. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
