    Without a doubt...Regal Tip 5B nylon. They feel like an extention of me. I'm not sure where I stop & the stick begins.

    I'm a Vic Firth 5B guy. I also use a lighter stick for smaller jazz stuff or light volume sets. I got hooked on the Ayotte Londoners but they're hard to find anymore.

    5A wood tip.....any brand....i always break the nylon tips way to fast...what can i say....im a metal head.....but i still use 5A because I also play softer stuff and it's quite hard to get musically dynamic with anything bigger than 5A

    Why don't you just use 2 different type of sticks? Then you woudn't have to keep replacing them.

    Because I use dynamics in every song of every style of music I play...I can't just switch sticks in the middle of beat....

    That's cool. Have you thought about trying to make yourself get used to a larger stick? That might be the answer. You probably just need a larger shoulder than what you're using.

    For hard rock & metal, I use Regal Tip Quantum 3000's, and for more jazzy/fusion, I use 5A's for more definition on the hats and ride.

    I love brushes. Some "feels" require them. I practiced exclusivley with brushes for a couple of months. When I went back to sticks, I could do softer & ghosted notes that I couldn't do before. Everyone should brush up on 'em (I just couldn't resist )

    I'm really digging the Vic Firth 5B Classics right now. I still like the Zildjian 5B Anti-Vibes though.
