Drum Sticks are now much, much more.

How to Choose Drumsticks
Some of the things you need to think about when selecting new drumsticks.

	1. What type of band will you be using them in? Rock, pop, jazz?
	2. Are they straight? Don't forget to roll drum sticks on a flat countertop.
	3. Do you want wood tips or nylon tips? How will the cymbals sound?
	4. Will you be playing hard or soft... or medium volume?
	5. Ultimately, make sure the drumsticks "feel" good in your hands.
	6. Do they have a finish? Are they varnished or lacquered?
	7. What type of wood are they made out of? Maple? Hickory? Oak?

	Drumstick Tips and Facts
	1. Many drummers wear out their drum sticks in the middle of the shaft by playing rimshots all night long. They splinter and eventually wear completely through.
	2. Some drummers adopt the name "Sticks" or "Stix" and insist everyone call them that instead of their real name. Hey, I guess we all want to be somebody.
	3. Drumstick spinning has really gained popularity through the past several years. There are drumstick spinning books, dvd's, and even many more drumstick spinning.
	4. Have you heard about pitch-matching your drum sticks? Many drummers swear by making sure their sticks audibly match each other in pitch.
	5. Using metal drumsticks to practice with is still a controversial subject. Many educators believe in this practice while some are convinced that it is harmful to your wrists.
	6. Some drummers sand their drum sticks to remove the varnish. They like the feel of so-called naked drumsticks a lot better. Usually it's those drummers that sweat a lot.
	7. Most drummers in this day and time agree that you should roll drumsticks on a flat surface to check for straightness before buying them.
	8. Some of the more common reasons drummers break drumsticks are; playing too hard, hitting at the wrong angles, and using the wrong drumsticks for their particular style.
	9. If your drum sticks are slippery or you're getting blisters from playing hard, consider using drumstick grip tape or other applications such as drumstick wax or Stick Stuff.
	10. Remember that buying cheap drumsticks will save you money, but they usually aren't weighted properly nor do they last very long. Stick with the name brands to be safe.
	11. Some drummers need more instruction on how to hold drumsticks. You can't be too far back on the sticks, nor should you be too far forward. Find the balancing point.
	12. Light up your drum performance with illuminating or glow drumsticks. Choose between painted glow drumsticks or lighted sticks like the brand new Vic Firth lite stix drumsticks.
	13. Snare drum sticks should be on the heavier side for new snare drummers. This provides extra weight which helps them to build their muscles.
