I have been playing the peter erskine ride stick for quite some time, and it is great in my right hand, especially for fast jazz, it has the most unbelievable bounce. I can breeze through tunes like cherokee. But i really hate a chunky stick in my left hand, but won't switch to my thinner ones because my ride will suffer! I have tried the elvin jones sticks, but they have no bounce, the other PE sticks the piccolo ones are okay, but lack the same bounce. I have the perfect stick for speed and feel, but a bad one for nuances on the snare....any help? don't bother saying work on your snare technique, because i think that thin sticks are unbeatable when it comes to ghost notes for jazz and such, i just need a thinner stick! Know of any with good bounce? Have also tried the dave weckl ones, but too chunky, and dont have enough bounce!
