Snare Sticks

[77kingsmensnare]

BD used DC-10s when I marched.  I used to have a pair.  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.

When I marched in Kingsmen we used pro mark densi wood sticks, we would cut off about an inch and a half from the back of the stick....them things was heavy!

I believe that the DC-10's were of the Japanese Oak variety. They are still being produced by ProMark !

Like like the rebound action of R. Hardimon's and the fact they are painted white. However, for stick tossing and back-sticking S. Johnson's are better balanced. It all depends on the book you're playing. If you need speed, Ralph's. If you need stick trick control/balance Scotty's. Scott's stick can take many more rim shots than Ralph's though.

I personally could hardly care less what color the sticks are painted--they all get covered in electrical tape anyway. I am a bigger fan of the IP sticks, particularly the former Colin McNutt stick (forget the new model number).

I actually like the fact that it's not painted. I think I can get a better grip on the wood itself.

The former Colin McNutt's are now FS-2. They are my favourite too.

wow, im surprised no one is into the Aungsts....theyre good sticks, i like the length and taper the most, i wish the bead was a little rounder, but theyre balanced really good for playing long rolls and slammin out singles at big heights. B)
