Well I have tried tons of different companies hickory, 5A model, and they just don't last that long if you're a hard hitter. I don't like playing anything much heavier than a 5A, but I'm a heavy hitter, so these sticks usually last about a month for me. i've also tried 5A models with bigger tapers, and they still don't last too long.
(I don't like ahead sticks either)
So, with that being said, I'm going to like for a drumstick with a different (more durable) wood. Unfortunately, most drumsticks companies stick to the traditional hickory and maple. The only ones I know of are Pro Mark's Oak line, and the heavy jazz stick (birch) by zildjian (Probably gonna try this one out, but some other options would be nice.)
So does anyone know any other companies that have drumsticks in woods other than hickory and maple? I've looked at lots of companies online, and most just have hickory and maple. Any other oak producers, or other woods?
Thanks.
