old skool drmmr Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It sure is hard to beat a good pair of Hardimons. Emphasis on good pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've tried a few different Innovative Percussion pairs, but keep coming back to the Ralphies. I'm working on a custom marching snare restoration right now - once that's done I'm going to order some of the System Blue sticks and try those out as well.

pearlsnaredrummer77 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I really like Ralphies for traditional grip. Old school DC10s for matched grip (I'm from that region & era). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcibrando Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I really like Ralphies for traditional grip. Old school DC10s for matched grip (I'm from that region & era). Hardimon's use to be better (longer lasting) IMO when they had the white stain on them many years ago. They don't seem to last as long now... not sure why (quality of wood, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANDRUMMER Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) We use RH but we sand off the slippery stain to feel the wood. We have also used Coopermans sticks but they are expensive over $20.00 a pair for snare sticks. We still use their Rud. Bass sticks though. There are SO MANY sticks out there these days to choose from,all with different weights, beads etc. Gone are they days when you used 2S or 3S,That was your choice. I think Pro-Mark came out with the first "radical" stick the DC10 that had no bead back in the 70's. I still have my Dad's old LEEDY 2S sticks that are 58 years old. i can feel the wear on the sticks from my dad using them for so long. I still have my original LUDWIG 3S from 1964' ,still use them on an old Ludwig rubber pad at home.

pearlsnaredrummer77 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I still have dc10s from the 1983 season. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANDRUMMER Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I had a pr. Of McCormicks sticks back in the early seventie's I liked the bead on them kind of a pear shape . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearlsnaredrummer77 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The dc10s were great for matched grip, but then they made the DC17 which was better suited to jacking up your car. Those were the worst sticks I ever used:big, heavy & clumsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
