I bought two new pairs of sticks at the beginning of the week. one practice - for rehearsals and stand jams, and one performance - for half time and competitions.
By the end of the week my practice sticks were all torn up. The tone was horrible and the stick was half broken. I gock too hard so I have to retape that area about three inches down from the bead everyday.
Then I look at our snare five and he hardly has a dent. Clearl,y it's because he doesn't play into the drum as hard as me but still. His sticks will last close to all season. Not fair!
I dont know, but my average stick lasts about a week minimum, 2 weeks maximum.
Is this a problem with anyone else?
