Hickory Drum Sticks

For a broad sampling of what your options are, you could start by checking out the Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks. They're available with nylon or wooden tips in six different shapes, offering a wide variety of potential sounds. Choose nylon to make your drums sound bright and sharp, or wood if you're more interested in warmth and fullness. Tonal character is also affected by the shape, with a rounder tip delivering punchier tones and the classic acorn-shaped tip putting out a richer effect. The final result will be a hybrid between the traits of the material and those of the shape, so finding the right balance will help you discover your perfect sticks.
If you're still not certain which hickory drum sticks might work for you, try taking a look at some signature sets like the Zildjian Tre Cool Artist Series Signature Drumsticks or the PROMARK Mike Portnoy Autograph Series Drumsticks. By associating the trademark sound of a drummer with the size and shape of his or her signature sticks, you can get an idea for what kind of performance comes from sticks with those specifications - and once you have a handle on that, predicting how a given stick might sound can become a total piece of cake!
