Hello. I'm having a hard time finding the right pair of sticks. Currently I'm rocking the Mike Mangini signature sticks. The weight and the extra length is perfect, although it's a little too skinny of a stick for me.
I've tried 5B's and 2B's in the past and they were alright. The 5B's were a little too skinny and the 2B's were a little too fat, and both too short. So I guess what I'm looking for is a stick with a diameter between the 5B's and the 2B's, but with the length (and weight) of the Mangini's. About 16.5" in length and like a .610" diameter.
I've done some research myself, and closest sticks/the only sticks that I could really find were the Pro-Mark 409 Jimmy Degrasso signature sticks or the Vic Firth HD9's. I haven't really looked into Vater or Zildjian sticks as I am unfamiliar with the brands (outside of the Mangini's of course).
So if you guys have any recommendations or insight on this, that would be just dandy! Thanks in advance.
