HEy everyone, i need a bit of help in choosing some drum sticks as i am conflicted on what to use personally.
I play on an Alesis DM7 and plan on sticking with Electronic drums for the next few years. Anyways, i started with the cheap pair of sticks that came with my Alesis, They are unmarked but i think they are 5A sticks, not sure of the wood but they have a coating of some kind on them. I used them for about four months or so before i decided to try a slightly bigger stick so i went with 5Bs.
Right now i am using Goodwoods Hickory and they have been ok for me but recently i decided i would try out my old cheap stick for the heck of it and surprisingly they felt alot better in my hand than they used to.
I' not sure what i like at this point, i enjoy the feeling of the slightly heavier 5Bs in my hand as i play hard and it just seems to back up that intense feeling. On the other hand i like that i play a bit faster with the 5As and the coating feels better in my hands as apposed to strait wood. Anyone have any suggestions?
