    Default How many drumsticks do you own at a time

    Basically just curious as to how many drumsticks you guys own at a time. Do your tour or gig? Does it change how many pairs of sticks you own?
    Happy Drumming!

    Along with everything else in my stick bag...brushes, mallets, rods, etc. I try to keep the stick bag full of sticks. But I usually buy them in bulk and replenish a couple times a year.

    So...lots? I guess.

    I gig, and have a couple dozen pairs at any time. I don't break them a lot ( 4 size 7AN sticks in the last 6 months ), but I start every gig with a brand new pair.

    Wow, who counts 'em? If I had to guess, maybe around 2 or 3 dozen? Really not sure. But now you've got me curious. I'm going to go home and count them. Ha-ha!

    I generally keep a dozen or so of each type I use. Always been a Vic guy, but recently fell in love with the Vater Fusion for most of my rock stuff. Still love the Vic Weckl, the SD1 and the Bolero. Got piles of marching and pipeband sticks too.

    Yep you guessed....too many! Mind you, I have not only drumsticks, brushes, rods and mallets in one stick bag.....if we're looking at all the specialty beaters and mallets that I need for tuned and other specialty percussion....that's a whole other crowded stick bag altogether, seriously! But as far as drumsticks go, one brick of a dozen pairs will get me through quite a number of months, so the stick bag is usually crowded with loads of Regal Tip 8A Jeff Porcaro's . Brushes and mallets last years though.

    Considering the price of sticks here, not too many. Right now I have two pairs in different sizes and another two or three 5-year old lone sticks lying around somewhere.

    6-12 pair at any given time. Rarely, if ever, more. Primarily because I buy 6 sets at a time to save trips to the store.

    From when I got out of the service in '69, up to today, I don't think I've gone through 100 pairs of sticks.

    From around '73 to '05, I averaged 4 gigs a week. In the '70's and '80's, 5 gigs a week (Wed thru Sun were common), and they all were 4 45-50 minute sets, and sometimes 5 sets, provided they wanted to pay for it. That's not counting other events we played.

    Your dog is adorable.
