Re: What's in YOUR stickbag, Mate?
As I posted earlier in the shoutbox, I accidentally dumped my stick bag the other night--so I had to track down the sticks...
an old pair of Pro-Mark 5Bs with the ridges in the sticks (a drumming buddy got them for me in 1989 shortly because I liked his--and unfortunately they're no longer in production...)...
An assortment of 5Bs in varying stages of wear and tear...
A pair of wire brushes dating back to the owner of my first drum set (an old Slingerland set);
a pair of bright-red Hot Rods;
and a pair of Slingerland Louis Bellson edition sticks (given to me by an older drummer friend who told me not to play them because they'd be worth something some day, and this was back about six or seven years ago!)
My stick bag itself is an old Pro-Mark bag I found at a yard sale some years ago...and the guy asked me "do you know what this is?"
And I responded (without missing a beat)--"of course, it's a stick bag! I'm a drummer!"
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
