In this video I compare several models of drum set sticks.
I am using three distinctly different cymbals to demonstrate the differences between the sticks.
These cymbals are:
A 1940's 21" K Zildjian
A 1950's 22" A Zildjian
A 2021 24" Bosphorus flat ride
A set of Sabian 13"HH Regular Hi Hats
I play each cymbal with a different set of sticks and then compare the sound to my Vic Firth signature stick.
