Choosing the Right Drumsticks
Selecting the appropriate drumsticks is a personal journey, as factors like weight, length, and tip shape can affect your performance. For beginners, the Vic Firth 5A is a popular choice due to its balanced size and weight. For lighter play, consider the 7A, while the 5B or 2B offer more heft for powerful playing.
