if anyone could be troubled to list all the maple sticks available I would be greatly appreciative. can't seem to find much info on what's out there..
Same here.Most brands make all their popular models in a maple version.
I love the feel of a maple stick, but it's just too soft and I can't get through a whole song without breaking one.
Funny that it's opposite for you. I don't hit hard but of course use rim shots and hit cymbals close the edge. For me, Vater maple sticks are actually more durable. A hickory stick might splinter, whereas the maple stick just gets dents.Same here.
I tried a couple pairs of On Stage 5b sticks that were practically free from Sweetwater one time. They felt good, but I had more wood flakes around my kit than I'd ever seen before.
No more maple.
The On Stage brand is really cheap wood. They come apart pretty easy so I wasn't surprised when I saw the chips. I'll go name brand if I want to go back to wood.Funny that it's opposite for you.
