I hear you. Which RT sticks?I honestly do not know what I will do once my last pair gives out. NOBODY makes sticks in my size but Regal, everything else feels like trying to play with two cigarettes in my hands.
We'll see. Not much but silence and a sell off so far. Hope your Intel is good.The word is that they've moved to a new location, and are retooling, and should restart production... sometime.
I have a new set of Regal Tip Jeff P sticks here. I also like them. I picked them up in Japan a few years back. I also wish I could still buy them. The new set I have are on my "collection" shelf. Along with nice whisky, books, and all things nice, important (to me), and man-ly.Hi guys, Enrico from Italy, new here. Using RT Jeff Porcaro Signature since 1993...I found on Amazon my last 7 pair of JP sticks at a very expensive price, of course...
If I got it right, RT doesn't exist anymore...and that's too bad...a couple of times I tried Vic Firth HD4, pretty similar, but a bit shorter...I suppose I have to switch to them permanently then...sad, sad news....Thanks to all of you for posting news I was looking for for almost 2 years.
Communication from the Company has been very, very poor indeed (non existent, actually)...no one knows anything about them...biggest music store here in my area as well...they tried to contact the Company, but no reply whatsoever...
We'll see. Not much but silence and a sell off so far. Hope your Intel is good.
Really!!If there is again a new word about a restart, I'll believe it when I see it. This has been going on for a long time now.
At this point, if the sticks were going to re-appear, I'd rather it after a resale and new management.
I think I said this previously in this thread - I don't know why another company didn't just start an RT line and build to the same specs.
This isn't rocket science, and a well tooled other company could do that without breaking a sweat.
Would be instant increased market share if done properly.
I’m of this mind as well. I was with them for 20+ years and then they began getting harder and harder to find. Now they’re all but gone and most (including me) have moved on.Sadly I think Regal Tip is dead. If they were re-tooling and planning a re-boot, why aren't they communicating that with anyone? Also, all of their signature artists have already left for other companies. I think they are toast.
Anybody know a brand that has 5A maple 16" and .0580?

I call em good r&r sticks any style and if you're not gigging 6 nights a week-
I like the 5B for Jazz (almost like a Tony stick) and the 5A for classic rock - butt end out by time the last set comes around.
