Re: Stick size with ekits?
I am more comfortable with smaller sticks on my e-kit. For my acoustic set I mostly use Vic Firth 55A, but will sometimes also use 5B or 5A (mostly because I have a million of them and don't want to feel like I wasted my money). For the e-kit, I stick with 5A. Not only that, but I use the sticks with the "Vic Grip" for the e-kit and I hate using them with the acoustic. The two instruments have a really different feel for me so I guess they call for different sticks.
As for nylon vs. wood tips on an e-kit; it doesn't really matter. As long as you aren't using sticks that are chewed up by an acoustic set, you'll be fine.
