I'm fairly new to drumming and one of the things that looked not too expensive to try out is different types of drum stick. So I ordered a range, 5A, 7A, 9A (and probably a few more). In some cases I have the same type but from different places. There does not seem to be any reliable correlation between the physical weight or thickness of a stick and that number. I've got them from a right old random mixture of companies so I assume that each company just makes up its own idea about what weight / dimension should go with each "type". I have also tried getting the same material (e.g. oak) in a few types and the lack of correlation remains.
I must be missing something here, what is it?
