Tristan Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I really liked the IP Colin McNutt's (I think they're called FS-2's now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapettes Mom Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Has anybody used any home made chop busters made from sawed off broom sticks? Serious question. Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I have not, but the guy who won snare I&E in 03 used brass drumsticks. I tried them out--heavy as ####, but balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rratex Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Ralph Hardimon's are my favorite. We used Promark DC 3Ss (Japanese Oak) last year. I like the weight but wish they had a round bead like the Ralph's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaScroll Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I've been screwing around with the new VF Jeff Queen stick. Man it has a nice feel but I have yet to ram it on kevlar. Then again...being a tenor player.... ^0^ ^0^ ^0^ ^0^ ^0^ ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I really liked the IP Colin McNutt's (I think they're called FS-2's now) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really liked the IP McNutt's too. And the Bret Kuhn's....very heavy, telephone pole like sticks, but nice to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapettes Mom Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Here is some old SCV history. Back in the day when I played snare in SCV we used sticks designed and named after our instructor, Rob Carson DC 10's. A tapered stick with no bead and kind of light and very easy to play fast with. One day mid summer while the corps was practicing out on Moffit Field, Fred Sanford comes back from a Canadian trip with a box full of custom batch of Rob Carson DC 10's made from rosewood. This sticks were beautiful and had an unbelievable pitch that made our new snares sound very sweet. Unfortunately the sticks were very fragile and we shattered the entire lot within a couple of hours. Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdrummer Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Jeff Moore's without a doubt. Our Snareline uses them, and they are some of the best I have ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originals were #### near indestructible!!! Float would whack a pair together to keep time. They were chewed up all to ####, but they never broke! I've fooled around with some really li8ght sticks made on a lathe...forgot what they were modelled after. I suspect on a drum they'd sound something like the untaped wood sticks Cavies at some point in a show in the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarechick Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I like the Vic Firth Thom Hannum sticks. They have great applications both indoors and out. Great articulation, work well with all dynamics, and require a little more work on the individual's end. I liked the Silver Fox James Campbell from back in the day...well besides the tips popping off and the occasional stick not being completely round (you should see me roll one of them, haha). They felt pretty good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
