Title: Dale's Drumsticks
Post by: CaptainPungent on April 15, 2006, 12:54:09 PM
I was watching a new live show I just d/led, and I noticed Dale's drumsticks.
He uses, from what I see in the recording, Nylon tips, but the tips are in a bulbous round, almost perfect sphere shape.
not a lot of drummers use these types of tips.
Can anyone tell me what kind of drumsticks these are, and what thickness/size?

He uses... Nylon tips, but the tips are in a bulbous round, almost perfect sphere shape.

it's true, i've seen him use those, but the sticks he gave me one show had considerably smaller tips, i was real surprised. 
this was the most recent tour.

nice.

and it's a smaller tip, right?
maybe in his old age the big tips are getting a little heavy for ol' crove.

i can't play with girthy sticks, i don't care how light they are.
small, small hands...no laughing!
i like those tips, i've played with the smaller bulbous ones, and they have a nice ting on a cymbal.
sound impeccable it's bell too.

i wish i could've gotten a pair of dale's stick...

from the looks of your avatar it seems that you hold the sticks in your whole fist.  it seems like a big heavy log would be good for you.

yeah, if i'm stupid i'll hold it in a fist, whenever i'm hitting really hard, i'll do it so it doesn't fall out of my hands.

let's see those drumsticks, vin!
are they used?

mine was the same way- you can see the "RE----" and nothing else until the "quantum...."
