hi! i am buying new sticks very soon 1 to 2 days!
but i was thinking of buying 3drumsticks 5a nylon or vic fith 5a nylon or zildjian 5a nylon??

i like the fact that 3drumsticks give you three sticks because i am a hard hitter! BUT what is the quailty like?

the vic firths i know are a very high quailty stick as i have had VF 3a wood before which were my favourite sticks but the wooden tip split in half after a couple of weeks!
so thats why i have a option of the 5a nylon tips!

i have played with zildjians before and i am quite impressed now befcause i bought the sticks when i started drumming and i must of been a hatd hitter yet they lasted me about 5-6 months! so thats my reasons for each brand

please give your expiriences and opinons!

i have no experience with 3drumsticks, and i play vic firth now and have used zildjan in the past and were good as well, there is just a better selection and price of vic firth at the particular music store near me...

thanks! i am going with vic firth but i can't decide between 5a extreme or 5b extreme?

i play rock/metal if that helps
my drum teacher recommended 5a because i'm 11 and i use pro mark 2bx(dave lombardo sticks) and vicfirth 3a which i am comfortable with but i split the tip:(

so i am looking for a stick which is a bit lighter than the 3a but not jazz sticks or sticks that feel airy!!!!1
