If you are a drummer, then you know that some thought is necessary to choose the right rods. All the sticks are not the same thing!

The general pattern of rods covered by a series of numbers and letters, as the fifth, seventh, 2B, etc. of various sizes and weights available preference allow different types of games and music. The number refers to the size of the stick, the lowest number with the larger size and vice versaverse. The letters are chosen to match play with the styles. A 'S' stands for 'street', so often the choice of marching band. 'B' Sticks are designed for the use of "bands" as a band concert and / or 'A', strange as it may be, stands for "orchestra" sticks that are popular with rock and jazz artists. Let's look at 2B for example, a heavy barrel, preferably rock and R & B musician, because they require a lot of volume during playback. OnOn the other hand, 7A is a popular choice for jazz and acoustic volume and less necessary.

Another choice you must make the purchase of chopsticks is councils whether to go for wood or nylon. The standard wood top creates a rounder sound than the nylon tip that emits more than a sharper tone, especially when used on the pool. Nylon tips can break in an impact drive, while the wooden sticks can break and shatter.

In recent years musicians have been experimenting and moremore with special designs on a better grip, or stick to increased longevity, such as rubber, which is impossible to break, but it costs a bit 'extra should.

So what are the main things you look at the time of drum sticks?

You could start with the choice of types of wood. The most common wood used for wands are maple, walnut and oak. Maple is the lightest of the three and therefore more flexible, making it a good choice for beginners. Hickory is theRounder and more popular choice, it absorbs energy well and is more flexible, although a bit 'harder than maple. Oak sticks have a longer life because they are denser than other woods, but the same reason they have a reputation for providing vibration too.

To the right size, you should think about what kind of tape to play you and 2B-5B sticks to withstand the most abuse and are good at music bands and heavy metal bands. Generalspeaking, a 7A or 5A play the best option for lighter, as his jazz.

If you are prone to sweaty hands, try, painted sticks, you could end up losing the support rods and fly out to left, right and center to avoid. The look and feel of the paint is the most desirable, but may disappear to play, you better do without. There are also poles are available to them for taking them with rubber grip for those who want to lose deliberately.

Try the sticksunless they are defective. If a stick is not just you at risk of producing a distorted sound and are also more prone to breakage. Spread on a flat surface should be smooth and the tip should remain level.

Above all, a stock feel like an extension of yourself. Experiment with different types up to an optimal level of comfort and the sound you're looking for.
