Hello fellow drummers,
I am in need of some advice. I have been playing a pair of Vic Firth 5A Hickory for a while now, going on a few years. I like them but I feel like I want to branch out; pun intended, and try something different. Mainly I would like to switch to a more rounded tip because I think it might help my rebound more. First of all, can I obtain better rebound with a rounded tip or do I improve my rebound using my fingers, hands and arms?
Secondly, if I do decide to change sticks, how long would you guys suggest playing and practicing with a new pair of sticks before going back to the 5A's?
Thirdly, would it be ok for me to play and practice with both? Because I've been told that if I were going to try out some new sticks that I would want to play them and only them for about 6 months. Any and all feedback from you guys is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
