Re: I've had it!!!!! New sticks please
I'm right there with ya. I've been playing since I was twelve or thirteen, and I'm forty now (not as active gig-wise as I used to be). But I always loved the snare sound that Stewart Copeland got, in fact I bought a CB brass 13x5.5 snare (I was in a bind because someone broke into a club I was playing and stole my birch tama and some other items) that ended up being the best, tightest, snare I've ever played. Anyway, to get that sound I played rimshots on the snare, almost constantly. Plus, I was never quite a "glancing" cymbal player. Consequently, the 808s lasted much longer than the 5Bs (or any other comparable stick) did.
Good look with the new sticks!
