This.I just grab another one and act like it didn't happen.
Devils Advocate: what if you’re on someone else’s kit. Like an open mic night kind of sceneYes, and no.
Grip is about technique and power, not just about avoiding dropping a stick. And the normal grip on your cymbal hand would still be subject to dropping a stick, particularly since that stick would normally see more action than the snare stick.
I rarely drop sticks, but I'm prepared in case I do. I always keep a few sticks within arms' reach, it just goes with the territory. Like a guitar player having spare picks within reach. But on tour where I play more vigorously, I also tape my fingers with 3M Nexcare tape. It's thin and flexible so it doesn't affect my feel - I often still have the tape on my fingers an hour after the show because I forget it's there - and it not only helps grip the sticks, but also helps prevents blisters & callouses. If you look at my hands, you'd never know I was a working drummer.
Tracy coming out of the gate strong with the brand pimping! On the other hand, your sticks do look pretty good and are competitively priced. I still have way too many sticks at the moment for someone who mostly plays at home but I will bear yours in mind when I run low.If you're looking for a stick with grip, you should check out this veteran and musician owned drumstick manufacturing company in San Diego, Scorpion Percussion. They have a proprietary neon green grip dip. It is a 100% eco-friendly and a water based product that is applied evenly and dried for 24 hours prior to shipping. Venom Grip provides artists with that extra grip and it is available on all Immortal Series sticks. They ship directly to you; use FREESHIPTG and they'll ship for free!

Well she’s a go getter, I’ll give you that. And really, I don’t have any objections, nor does it matter if I do or not…not my website. I just thought that it was funny to see so many nearly identical posts on these stick threads.Well, at least she's transparent with her occupation listed as "Customer service rep for Scorpion Percussion"
See these guys a lot on the Metal Drummer Nerdz FB page so I guess they're branching out?
I just checked out Scorpion Percussion... they make their sticks from 'weapons grade' hickory! Does that mean you can't play anti-war songs with them.Well, at least she's transparent with her occupation listed as "Customer service rep for Scorpion Percussion"
