Have you found your perfect pair yet?

Drum sticks are a drummer’s connection with the instrument. Finding your perfect stick model and having the right sticks for certain musical scenarios is super important for your playing feel and your drum sound. The stick you choose will not only change how your cymbals and drumheads react to you playing but also determine which playing techniques work best and how you feel when hitting the drums.

To give you an overview of the most important differences between drum stick models we put together a Drum Stick Guide video that will help you find your perfect pair of sticks. 
Some of the questions dealt with in this video are:

What are the different parts of a drum stick?

Does the tip shape change something?

What influence does the length of the stick’s shoulder have?

And how does a thicker stick change the sound?

All those and many more questions are answered within this video. You will find all the necessary information to determine your perfect stick model and might find some additional hints that will help you express what you are looking for in your perfect pair.
