I just received my new custom sticks last Friday they are D=.590 L=16.75 they are all most just like the Anton Fig sig. stick by Vic Firth. I got 6 pairs nylon tip and 6 pairs wood tip and they only cost me $2.85 per pair(us) the sticks hold up really well and you can't beat the price and there is no middle man making a profit on the sticks.

What make are they?

 

Anyway, I'm switching models all the time:

For really extreme styff I use my trusty old Ahead 5A's. I play that kind of music very rarely so it's about a year since I've last used those.

Nowadays I use a pair of Vater hickory 5A's with wood tips. For a while I used Pro Mark 747 rock's but since theyr'e longer than regular 5A's I found the balance to be a bit awkward at times. Then I use Vater 7A's on and off. Still, regular Vater 5A's are my sticks right now.

I used to use the Zildjian Vinnie Colaiuta and Vater Fusion models, but a few months ago I picked up a pair of Trueline Danny Care models, and I think I've found my new stick. If you've never tried a pair of Trueline sticks, I'd recommend you give em a try - they've got that bulge near the bottom of the stick where your palm goes.

The name is Customsticks or Customdrumsticks can't remember which. They are made by Jeff Rich in NewHampshire.

I also used Promarks 747B's but I wanted a stick a bit thinner and Jeff will make them in the Length and Dia. that you like. I think he also make's exact copies of most popular stick models.

Oh yeah he make's copies of Vater 5A'S I was reading reviews on his sticks and one guy said he couldn't tell the difference in feel

between the Vater and the copy stick.

All sorts and kinds of Vic firth for jazz, fusion, rock and metal. Ahead for rock and metal. Promark brushes hotrods and lightning rods. Silver fox and Vic Firth Corpsmaster multi tenor mallets. Inovative percussion mallet percussion mallets. Vic firth timpani mallets. Can't think of anything else right now.
