VicFirth vs. Tama
Just did a little comparison test to see how my new favourite sticks (Tama Oak Japanese Fire 7A) are holding up against my old favourite (VicFirth American Hickory 7A). I played the same 12 songs with each pair, and there is a clear winner (IMO), the VicFirth stick looks frayed and the tip is damaged, while the Tama stick looks fine: [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/476f10f4-85bd-41dc-ae2d-a3b57604c83c.jpeg] (Above image is of the two right hand sticks) I just hope they doesn’t destroy my cymbals :-)
