[yoyoace02]

@ST3V3NK0M Same here XD *high five*

[TheDunwichHorrorBand]

lol i play metalcore and i use 7a .......so ehmmm yeah lol....total preference

[BlindShorty11]

i didn't know taylor lautner works there

[fatalkill101]

5Bs are NOT for Death Metal Drummers. Well not a beginner death metal drummer at least. Its REALLY hard to blast quickly with 5Bs

[Apreciateifyoudidnt]

Vic firth Steve gadd sig, pro mark 5b nylon, pro mark la specials, vicfirth 2B, hot sticks 5C wood tip(XD I know) Vic firth AJ17. Plus I've got some steel tips, some felt tips but yeah I use a spread

[imakefreshbeatz]

Vic Firth AS8D's own, I highly recommend them because they're good stick for many types of playing, although it really is a personal preference.

[BlakeLovesdrums]

Ahead 5A :D

[atedj]

Vater 5A for me or 5B =]

[hamjamnspamalot]

It took me a number of years but after finding 5A's being a bit too big, and 7A's being too small, finally found the Regal Tip 8A Jeff Porcaro Signature works wonders for both soft and loud playing. It gets frustrating that not all stores stock it though, but for the time being the pack of 12 pairs I bought have been doing very nicely for me ;)

[JoepKooltje]

For me, pro mark 5B wood tip does the trick.

[SgtPeterFuck]

5 B for me, just the best Rebound! Pro mark, Benny Greb sig.

[lickmynipnips]

That salesman is dean reimer, a great drummer, he's actually on freedrummlessons doing some good solos

[ElFlacoDrumming]

mkay ?

[orfenandanarchy]

Pro-Mark millennium 7A's. My all time fav! :D

[MYNAMETAYLA]

Pro-mark Hickory 747's. NOT the Neil Peart Model. :)

[badman536]

3:50 shaft!!!! lol

[fermar92]

I use ProMark Neil Peart Signature. I love that drumsticks!

[maggotvenger94]

I just now resently found my dream sticks.

I play metal, hard rock and some rock, but still i like my sticks light, thin and not too long. So I landed on the Vic Firth SD4 Combo sticks. Not too long, not too short, not too thick, not too thin, not to heavy, not too light. Just PERFECT! :D

Vic Firth SD4 Combo! :D <333

[CrazyKelstonTeens]

hey i play metal and deathmetal aswell and i agree with you, i prefer thin and light sticks i dont know why i think light sticks help with your blasting beats as heavy ones take alot of energy but i reckon heavy sticks are great for rock to give that heavy HARD sound

[Brian7490]

good vid. one thing that wasn't discussed is wood vs nylon tips which is something pretty essential in drum stick selection.

[Palepancakes]

2:03 i have the ones on the far left.

[Palepancakes]

I use SD1 Generals for my snare alone and I think 5B's for my set.

[DaBoXBabY]

When I started playing I played with vater and vic firth. I like 5b's for marching and practice and 5a's for just about everything else.

[mikehes1391]

3:49

[smookiens2]

I play with few sticks Vic Firth:Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, american jazz aj1-6 And my first drum stick polish brand "Gładek" 135a very light and very short :)

[xxNightwolf14xx]

im suprised they didnt talk about nylon tips . weird huh?

[Flameriders94]

@xxNightwolf14xx

They do, but its in the drum gear buyers guide dvd, not here

[bigblobbybob]

vater Power 5B's, in purple (Y)

[rustyrulze]

Woo 5B... next time i get some sticks maybe i shuld look at each brand of the same size, interesting, good video

[nstrikefromnerfhaven]

I'm finding 5B to get a little small, so I might get a 2B tomorrow.

[vlog1234567]

i love 5B sticks i think 5A is too light

damn i think ima get some coremasters just to see what happens to my drums

[417wwerdna]

i ave de black drumsticks dey are fucin legend

[loserfor1sec]

hahaha, bigger shaft lol

[nextbmxstar]

"...the only difference is the shape of the tip..."

THATS WHAT SHE SAID! MUAHAH ill go back into my hole now

[SweetSunshineCamper]

I have Bone Rattle 7A's imported from Cabo San Lucas...I'm not sure if it makes them any different.

[drummercymbalsamples]

Pro-mark Nylon 747N, its taken me five years of playing to get to a stick that feels perfect, and thats it.

[feret1993]

7A pro marks are the best

[skatemafia17]

so you probably should not use them if its not a perfect surface

[skatemafia17]

hey when you use a wooden tip and some of the tip kinda chips so its not a perfect circle any more does that hurt you drum skins?

[greendayjunkie08]

well normally not but in some cases the tips have a really bad rebound and they lose their attack on the ride and hihat

[LEADxx]

Yes , an inperfect tip can create divits on the surface of the drum head. Thus this could shorten the life span of the head.

[Brewitz666]

This is very usefull tbh, I've been using 5b for a while but I've moved on to 5B extreme's now.

[cogafugi37]

yea i dont really know much about my sticks...fail

[beastrevor]

mm bigger shafts

[Angelius]

i use 8A stick in the moment!:D

[Dieccast]

7a ftw

[beastrevor]

7a ftw mate :D

[skillnub70]

Try 7A with playing some rock shit. A pain in the ass.

[kandem360]

I have used 5A's from the start, but I have started to try different styles. I went from a Vater 5A to Travis Barker Signature sticks(just to try 'em...they marked everything white!) to Vic Firth Ex 5AN's......I love these sticks. Is it just me, or are signature sticks just a gimmick to sell something with a brand name on it like Zildjian? Why use Z sticks??? Go with a drumstick brand. Zildjian makes good cymbals, not so good sticks.

[PimpSonnyMax]

omg i use the same sticks and agree with you soooooo much lol

well done (Y)

[maciekomis]

i started with 5A then moved to 3A and now i'm using 55A which are pretty cool ;)

i've been using vicfirth and Ahead mostly ;)

[TimeForAPsycoHoliday]

im experimenting with sticks but i like vic firth but ill try vater and see what happens

[nanrick14]

come on I got to reply on this one... LOL!

[SolidSnake1162]

This is my opinion to everyone...never use Ahead drumsticks. Why? I quote this from a professional

"When people come in here and complain about their cymbals breaking and cracking I ask them,what drumsticks do you use? They answer with saying that they use Ahead drumsticks." That's just my opinion,don't hate on me for it.

[lakebodomrb]

Vater 2B

[pennyboy2006]

i use vic firth 5a

[westvirginiafilms]

Vater Fatback 3A

[37SwZ]

LoL

[tamaman08]

i use promark 5AX

[bestintheeast]

informative video for starters, great job!

[MrSquirrelsy]

peart all the way! i use his drum sticks, theyre much eaiser then 5A sticks, and can with stand so much more.

[metalmessenger]

i used the 2b to increase my speed, it did work for me, know a days i buy those bundles when the stores have a super deal like, 10 pairs $10, usually they are 5a and no brand name, they sometimes last longer than the brand ones, other than that i use vater rock nylontip (in which they forgot to explain)

[rodolfo2107]

yeah thnx 4 the help on choosing the drum sticks

[iamamaggot666]

AHEAD Joey Jordison sticks...amazing sticks and seem to work for me...gonna try out some other Ahead signature sticks...only thing about them is they're quite expensive for drum sticks, and a bit heavier...but they dont damage your drums or cymbals any more then a wooden stick, and they'll last much longer then a wood stick...i would have to recomend Ahead to anyone:P

[37SwZ]

I use AHEADs too.

I started with the Lars Ulrich-model (Metallica All The Way baby) but now i use the 5A. WITH GRIPTAPE. Without the tape, they go flying. XD

But like you said, abit more expensive, but you'll get a way longer use out of em.

[iamamaggot666]

ya i dont have grip tape and like you said...they tend to go flying sometimes...but ya get used to them lol...but ya i wouldnt mind getting a pair of Lars Ulrich sticks...along with some Tommy Lee sticks...i want to try a bunch and then just use the ones i like the most but ya...expensive sticks...but definitely worth it guys:P

[icanplayguitar82]

Wow i just learnt some stuff about sticks

[Drummerspaz]

imo, and ive been playing drums for 4 years now, the shape and size of a drumstick and a stick's tip doesnt really matter, well atleast it doesnt affect my playing atall, i forget about the sticks after the 1st few bars of a song anyway

[FeltEthicBMX]

you have a point but still i can hear the difference between  the tips

[keiser95]

haha i have the zildjian rock dip which are like the HUGEST pair of sticks ive ever seen! but i dont use it. so u use the 5B anti vibes. the anti vibes are pretty smooth

[12roker66]

ahead lars ulrich signatures work for me...

[IZONZION]

i use regal tip van halen signature sticks, long heavy and awesome

[HEYBUDD]

A good teacher will put a beginner on a 2b stick so that he can build up muscle, reinforce muscle memory and for easy and defined rebound.

No mention of different woods?

Nylon tips?

Never did get that "what does the number and letter designate?" question answered did ya?

My students do.

People: Please don't buy your lessons on-line. Get a real teacher.

[buddyd007]
