Bump cuz one my my stock sticks exploded when I was playing Dyer's Eve

So, 5A and 7A are the best one? Is there anything important to have?

My personal favorite are the Zildjian 5A Anti-Vibe's. I don't think they do anything on the WT drum padding though. I use Yamaha DTX's and I can't go back to any other drum stick because I notice how bad it hurts my hands with the vibration. Good luck!

I use Vic Firth hickory 5BN's. Gets the jorb done.

I used nylon-tipped 7A sticks myself. The lightness really helps gathering speed on the rolls and getting across the kit quickly. Plus since you're not hitting real drum skins, it's not that vital as to the quality of the stick itself.

Avoid wood-tipped for the reasons stated above and don't go too heavy or you'll enter cross-talk city.

I find the basic ones work fine, only around £5 a pair too.
