For a while i've been wanting to try different sticks but there is so many where to start. Currently i play with vic firth 2B nylon tip. I am willing to try other brands but am happy with how long vic firths last. I just bought a signature stick from promark and because i figured i like the drummers style and his playing so i thought give them a try but they are already chipping. I like to play rock and metal so what would you guys and gals suggest to try.
