Drum stick model

5A, 5B, 5C, 2B, 7A, 3A

Maple, walnut, oak, elm, birch, beech, Ebony, and Rose wood

Walnut and maple are common

Maple wood is light, playing more agile, soft tone. Applicable and popular, such as jazz and funk.

Walnut has fiber wood grain, which is harder and more dense than Maple. Therefore, the sound from the drum sticks made by Walnut Wood should be brighter and softer than maple trees, so it can withstand strong percussion and thus be more durable. Generally, metal drummers use this kind of wood. (some cheap drum sticks in China are basically made of Liu Dao mu. You can use them together, but we recommend using a better drum stick because it plays a direct role in your practice feeling)

Let's talk about the model...

Traditional model numbers: the so-called traditional model numbers, such as 3 s, 2B, 5b, 5a, and 7A, are the models that have been used from the first generation of drums. All of these may vary slightly with the manufacturer, but the overall model and shape are almost uniform throughout the industry.

Numbers represent the circumference length of the drumstick, that is, the width of the drumstick. Generally, the larger the number, the finer the drumstick. On the contrary, the smaller the number, the thicker it will be. For example, 7A is finer than 5B, while 5b is finer than 2B. But there is an exception, that is, 3 S. Although the number is 3, it is thicker than 5B.

Meaning of letters:
The "S" model is designed specifically for a marching band, such as a military band. This model can naturally improve the shade and is very suitable for the use of these music styles.

The "B" model is very suitable for band performances, such as tube music or orchestra. It is thinner than the "S" type in width and is easy to control. Therefore, it is very popular among beginners. Therefore, 2B drumsticks are recommended to students by countless drum teachers as the drumsticks for getting started.

"A" represents the orchestra. The "A" drum stick is designed for a jazz band or a music orchestra. They are finer than B, which makes them very suitable for playing soft music.

In fact, it is of little use.
The most important thing is that you need to pick up each of them and use a different intensity to repeat them.
Listen carefully to hear the difference ..
It's just a different tone...
