I seem to be rendering many of my sticks virtually useless... but I'm not splitting these things in half or anything. I usually use a lot of rimshots in my playing so I'm thinking it must be because of this that I'm going through sticks like mad. It's usually my right-hand stick that begins to go first... And no, I don't abuse my drums with blast beats or FFFF-dynamics.
My sticks die from being either:
-Frayed/splintered (think peeling string cheese)
-Shoulder begins to split top-down (and eventually does so)
-Small part of the tip chips off, resulting in the rest of the tip gradually being eaten away
Any suggestions to help me from killing so many sticks?
