Zildjian sticks the Artist series are made from Hard wood,,im guessing Oak,,,The Hickory series are what it says on the tin but the Hickory comes from the Far east The are normally designed for strenghth....Maple series give you lighter sticks but less strength then the Hickory..... anti vibe technology is a rubberised coating that covers the stick however if it chips on the rims and cymbal edges and you loose the integrity of the drum stick so flexibility and shock resistance is reduced...the dip series gives a soft grip well that's the range I think they are over priced....you pay for the logo.......

those pro-marck sticks look good and are well endorsed im going to try a couple of sets ...so thanks...I have tried all sorts of sticks Shaw-stix and currently like the signature sticks by Vic Firth.....there other sticks around so if any opinions Vater, Regal tip........

I'm sure I hit the back of my ride, then again I found it at a venue.

XD Some sticks i bought off a market stall for £2 a set with gbdrumsticks on them.
i got through 3 sets at a rehearsal broke them on the snare drum in the middle of the skin no edges or rims i reckon they were cheap maple or similar light weight wood.....

The worst drum sticks...hmmm..

Any stick that breaks within 2 or 3 rim shots.

My rim hits the middle of the stick in my rim shots and if that broke sticks... ouch

In other words, for me that would be Vater or Zildjian sticks.
