Character of each brand stick.
Every brand stick has a different character.
o Zildjian: Stick Zidjian known to be very strong indeed. But the size of Zildjian sticks itself is somewhat different from the others because stick2 Zidljian tend to be larger. Size Rock itself is very large and have a great tip as well.
o Vic Firth: its really ‘The Perfect Pair’, all stick really have balanced and have the same pitch. And certainly straight all. But there is one weakness, if you are lucky you will experience a ‘premature fracture’ So, there is the possibility of a new stick that you buy 1 day ago tiba2 broken. Be careful.
o Pro Mark: The only stick that logo listed in the middle stick. Stick is very strong but quite strange because balance is heavy stick in front.
o Johnny Rabb: Known for innovations such as Rhythm Saw. But Rhythm Saw itself can be harmful to the drum because it can damage the bearing edge so that the drum sound you can become confused and can not be tuned.
o Tama: Extra strong and is most comfortable in the hold. But unfortunately, it’s very rare.
o Vater: Lots of choice, but the uncertain balance alias each stick does not have the same character even though the same shape.
o Ahead: Stick drums super expensive. Indeed, quite the force … but, his rebound (reflection) is very dead and the drums will sound sharp. but certainly, a couple of these stick itself can last up to 6 months!
o Regal tip: Lars Ulrich was using this stick but not anymore because of this stick can not stand the cold and become easily broken. For some people may feel that the stick was too slippery but have also said that the stick is the most convenient. The downside of this stick is if you use nylon tip, usually a small neck at the end of the stick once so easily broken.
