As a brand new drummer, I was just wondering what everyone thought about sticks. For my first pair I bought some Vic Firth 5B's, they were recommended by my local Guitar Center associate.
However, not knowing a darn thing about sticks, I was wondering what some of you thought about those for a newbie. Is there something better out there I should be looking at and what really is the differnce in sticks? I assume a lot of it has to do with weight, but is there something else I should be looking for? Also, what do good drummers usually expect to pay for a good set of sticks?
Sorry if these are stupid newbie questions but I'm really wanting to learn what's best and what accomplished drummers think. Thanks for any help!
