| wow, 2 pairs in 3 months? I go through probably a pair for every 3 or 4 hours of playing.... and its getting really expensive...
I do rimshots on almost every hit with my snare hand, but that usually isnt the first stick to break. I tried paying attention to weather or not i hit the rims or edges of my cymbals excessively and it doesnt seem like i do. I angle my cymbals towards me just slightly and i dont have them way up in the air. In fact theyre about as low and as i can get them without them hitting the drums so i know im not cutting my sticks up too much on the edges of the cymbals.
I do tend to use my whole arm as opposed to just my wrist though, ill try to work on that some more |
