Ok...so I have a brand new brick of 5A's that I won't I probably won't be using.
After about a 25 year drumming break, I started again with 5A's (as suggested by GC Guy) - heck, 25 years away from the game - I'm clueless...
Anyways, about 2 years later now, I'm getting my licks and new grooves going. I wondered if perhaps a slightly larger and heavier stick would help my finger technique and speed.
So I pop in to another locally owned shop, and the owner hands me some Regal Tip 5B's.
I hold them, and right away the texture or finish on them attached nicely to my hands and fingers. He says the Regal Tips are the ones that have that texture, because I complained that gradually the sticks slide out of my hands when I'm practicing rudiments.
I like these sticks, though much more expensive at about $8-9 / pair.
Do you drummies know of any other sticks that have this same texture (slip resistant), but better priced? I'd be using the 5B's. MF and Sam Ash didn't have them in bricks.
Thanks again!
