yamaha groove wedge?

[captain insane-o]

 

hi guys...looking for some drum trinkets for the wife.

 

Is the groove wedge worth it?

 

I mean it looks like basically a cross-sticking aid...(she uses one of those chad smith snares)

 

I suppose my big question is - is it really that "woody"? does it offer much of a woodblocky/clave sound -- I mean enough to warrant using it?

 

 

I know it's a bit of a qualitative question

depends on where she plays......they are really loud, and can add almost twice the volume of just a normal crosstick....like most answers about music.....it depends.......on venue, genre, player, stick,.....most of the time ive seen them used is for live applications where the stage is huge. Some snares also dont cross stick well with much volume, so this could be helpful on such snares......myself have never bought one because the need doesnt justify the price. Just my 2 cents worth......

Ditto to the above. The Groove Wedge helps nail a big loud cross stick to cut more than your normal one, but most drummers don't play a cross stick requiring a loud volume... but hey, I'd screw around with one if I had one.

I think you don't have enough knowledge about the sound of this woody instrument.You may low your sound by slowly cross-sticking but its not be fun.So,you have to some kind of soundproff your room to play this drum happily.
