A simple question: when do you decide it's time to throw a pair of sticks away (or do whatever it is you do with the sticks you don't use anymore)?
When you break a stick discarding it is an obvious choice, but I rarely break sticks. I have broken two or three sticks in 12 years of drumming, most of them being several months old.
I myself get rid of the sticks I use when the tip of the stick begins to fall apart. It's barely noticeable, but when the tip of a stick gets really edgy and splintered I sometimes feel some of my cymbals don't sound the same. I also think it might wear heads faster than what is desirable.
So when do you throw away your sticks?
