notquitedeafdrummer Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Hey All- I am ordering sticks for my high school line's snares... should i go for ProMark or Vic Firth? What sticks? I do not have much experience with snare, but I am the center snare (HA!) so it's my job to know what's what... i was hoping i could get some opinions that would lead me in the right direction... They are pretty decent Yamaha Sfz Field Marching series drums... 14". We do field marching. Thanks! notquitedeafdrummer Capital Sound BD #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chhhhrpow Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 The Tom Augnst have a great feel to them. I used to use the Floats as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schleic8 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Go for some Innovative Percussion! The McNutts are great. But if you're limiting yourself to Vic and Pro Mark, I'd go with Vic Firth. They're a lot better quality, and have a ton better selection. Personally, I like the Hannum model.

flammaster Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 If pro mark still uses hickory then forget that I hate hickory sticks! (but I don't know if they make Maple sticks) I like the straight American 3-S model. I have some Floats but they are pretty heavy. The Hardimons feel the Best but i have heard they break easy. I have only tried the SJ's once and they seem to be great sticks. the Dennis Delucia sticks are a model i plan on buying they feel great. Aungst and Hanum's i have never tried.

FlamDragHero Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Vic firth all the way B) Promark stick are made poorly and lack the quality standards that all vic firth marching sticks have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade_fireman Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 my .02, Renegades had a full sponsership from promark this past season and i loved there sticks. i know the ones the snares used were very similar if not identical to hardimons. im a bass player so i wouldent know about theirs. but the bass mallets held up really well. and they gave us cool member shirts :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
