Members rangerkarlos Posted May 20, 2003 Members Share Posted May 20, 2003 Someone here once posted a link to some odd drumsticks that were terje friendly. I'm interested in that product too, for personal reasons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Old Steve Posted May 20, 2003 Members Share Posted May 20, 2003 Vic Firth "Blades" if I remember correctly. Stick-type handle and "paddle" at the playing end. All plastic. If you use the flat side, it's a little louder than a brush, using the edge of the paddle on cymbals gives a stick-like sound/response albeit much quieter. More useless info: a guy in Kansas City invented them. He got the idea while painting a house and messing around with the paint stirring sticks he got with the paint. He built a prototype and sold the concept to Vic Firth. Chaaaaaa Ching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturing costs would be really low. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Old Steve Posted July 14, 2003 Members Share Posted July 14, 2003 I like it, the "air guitar pick". Small world on the "blades" guy and your band. Hope I got most of my facts somewhere in the ballpark. My folks still live in KC and sent me a KC Star article on the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
