Wow, you must abuse sticks badly. I use rock N's and those last me a good month or so of constant hammering before they're worn thin. I HIGHLY reccomend you check your cymbal tecnique. If you play your cymbals flat with the felts cranked down, and smash straight into them, you'll go through a pair in no time, and risk busting an expensive piece of bronze in the process. Try tilting your plates at an angle, loosen em up a bit and do more of a downward swipe when you ride on your crashes, and you might get a couple more weeks out of your sticks, and a few more years out of your cymbals.
