Great Quotes

"Usually, I'm concentrating on the quarter notes. That's where my focus has to be to keep the tempo locked. Whatever subdivisions I play in those spaces, I make sure they're locked in with the quarter note so that I don't rush them ... I just try to be part of the foundation."

Hello all,

I don't know if this is the right forum for my question, but here goes.  I am an orchestral percussionist, and I am looking for a good concert snare drum stick, or multiple types of sticks depending on effects (attack, volume, resonance, etc).  Back in the day I used Saul Goodman Model B, but they are no longer made.  I have Cooperman General 5s and 10s - I have the rosewood 10s for my 14X7.5 Yamaha Birch Concert Snare.

I took a hiatus from playing - about 15 years.  Since all of the things that I once knew as standard issue are gone, does anyone have any other suggestions for good concert snare sticks?

Whew....remember when you could buy good sticks for less than $10 and good mallets for less than $20?  I had to put a lein on my house to restock my mallet bag!!

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Hi, Jim -

I'm currently using the Cooperman Nick Petrella General, the persimmon wood, quite a lot and enjoying the feel. Another stick a little more affordable is the Lalo Davila model by Innovative Percussion. They also have a Chris Lamb model that some people I know really like. Then there's always the Tom Gauger #16 for something a little different.

Here's a link to several of the popular models:
