how do you know if your a hard hitter? i dont think i am, but i have no way to tell... my parents say i should shut up sometimes with my drums but all drum are abnocchous if your hear them just by themselves. (only to none drum players of course:icon_cool: )
When you destroy cymbals in less than a year. >.> I payed $50 to get the cracks out of my crash cymbal, another $25 for my ride cymbal last year.

oh yes as this is my 100th post I AM NOW A SENIOR MEMBER lol :dance:
Congrats on your 100th post DR!
To borrow from Jeff Foxworthy:
You could be a hard hitter if--
your wood sticks look like they've been attached by an angry woodpecker...
your Ambassador pin stripes look like they got caught in a hailstorm...
your attach ear plugs to your band's business cards...
your drum shop knows how quickly you go through a case of 5B's...about once a month...
and (this is particularly true for hand drummers)...you shake hands with an older dude and he asks if you've done any bricklaying in your life!
:boom-crash:
with the right technique and durable products you shouldnt really be damaging anything. when i first started, my sticks, after every jam, used to look like a woodpecker has been at them and on the floor, under the hi-hats, was all the dusted up chipped off pieces. Now my sticks last me a longer time and no more chipped off pieces. I am sure that I am hitting the drums more comfortably now with better technique and thats why less is getting damaged.

yer lol woodchips! I new something wasnt right after every jam but it didnt go away for a while and began to think it was normal....well not anymore coz no more woodchips but cleaner hits on the hi-hats and everything else.
i guess it was because your stick was slanting on the edge of the high hat, thats what happend to me
Well, I got a pair of carbon-fibre sticks (A-heads) which cost around 25 pounds ($50) which takes AGES to chip and are fantastic for heavy players. After a year or two, they get chipped a bit with marks on them, but you can buy a new carbon-fibre tube that screws on (after un-screwing the chipped tube) for around 5 pounds ($10)
Sounds like you might be from across the pond, mate! Thanks for the input. Good to have you here!
seems to the the carbon sticks don't give the same sound as wood though *just from my minimum knowledge on those sticks)
Lol i learnt bad techinique breaks sticks not hard hitting too.... At least i hope thats right because i am a hard hitter and i changed my technique and im about to get new gear :P
Right this is going to make me sound extremely dumb, but what does abnocchous mean?
Obnoxious means annoying. "abnocchous" is that same word REALLY badly spelt.
Ohhh, obnoxious, yeah i get it now, thanks
LOL i wouldnt do any better
