    Default Drumsticks

    I just read that Vic Firth puts out from 60,000 to 80,000 drumsticks a day!
    Man, that's unbelievable!

    Update: 10-5-11
    Drum Bum added bulk drumsticks, (also called brick drumsticks), to their inventory.

    That's a lot of sticks. I can't believe the price of sticks these days.
    I had been useing some I bought in bulk a few years ago I have had in the studio and about out. Where can you get the best deals in bulk these days?
    I like a nice medium heavy 5B wood tip. I had some Zildjian sticks in that size I used to love.

    Well I just bid on a lot of 24 pair black maple 5B wood sticks for $25.
    As long as there 5B have a little weight and balanced I don't care what brand they are. Generic is fine.

    Maybe that's an indicator that they don't make that many of 'em.

    have to say zildjian super 5A are my personal favourite stick at the minute. They just feel right. I liked super 5B's, but the 5A's just have an edge on weight and feel.
