I have band practice this morning and realized all my sticks are broken. No place local is open, i don’t feel like driving all the way to guitar center…
guitar factory and music exchange are both closed… does fye have drum sticks? Media play did… can you think of anywhere else?

But were they made out of wood? I know there’s sticks out there made out of other materials.

i just got done breaking those, then i flipped em around, played them backwards and broke them again. I think i am going to cut up a broom.

It’s all the rimshots and highhats that destroy them…
Don’t they have composite ones? Time for some carbon-kevlar, son! Should be more forgiving than metal but still tough as nails.

yeah i need to look into some heavier duty sticks also. i usually use vic firth but i’ve been going through so many in my latest band practices that i’ve pretty much given up on them. also i noticed last week that from doing rim shots in the same consistent place that my rim is now dented… i actually forgot that i needed to run to the music store and pick up that stuff and some other things until i read this thread
