So you want to play drum set! Now what?
STICKS:
Plain wooden sticks (with no paint) please.
Wooden tips only. No nylon or plastic tips.
I suggest having 2 pairs of sticks. One to stay at home and one to stay school (with your name on them in permanent marker)
Please do not get the cheapest sticks that you can find. You get what you pay for.
I would recommend Vic Firth sticks.
