5a drum sticks - A good sized pair to start with!

5a drum sticks are a good sized pair of drum sticks to start with.You can get 5a sticks from almost any music dealer as these are a popular size for drum sticks. You can choose from a nylon tipped drum stick or a wooden tipped drum stick. I personally prefer the nylon tip because of the clearer sound that I get out of the ride cymbal.

* Make sure that the sticks are weight matched-It should say on the label.

* The wood impurities are gone- No discoloration, chips or dents.

* The wood quality is good- Maple, Hickory, Oak etc.
