I'm worried of sounding like a complete novice with this, but i'm just completely stuck. So here it goes...
I've played with Vic Firth 5B/5BN's for as long as i can remember. They're just about right for everything i've played, and they've suited me well. Yet march last year i bought a new kit, and i've found that i'm breaking far more sticks than what is 'normal'. I've come to the conclusion that the sticks aren't as strong as what's needed for this kit.
I've trawled the internet looking for a size guide, but to no avail. I need a pair of sticks that are the next strongest to the 5B's. So what is the next size up from a 5B?
Thanks in advance!
