I'm not really picky personally, but any 7A wood tip hard wood stick will work for me.

For me it is a hard decision between the Pro-Mark japanese oak 7A's or the Vic Firth Peter Ernski 7A's it's a hard choice.

I'm loving the Vic Firth 5A wood tip.  They are sweet for my rim shots and pocket playing.  To me they are not to heavy and not to light.  I feel very comfortable using them and I've tried them all.

FYI
I got the recommendation to try VC 5A from this site from someone talking about sticks a few months ago.  Thanks to all you drummers that replied.  It really helped me.

I love this site.  I don't get to reply alot, but I visit and read almost everyday.  There is a wealth of knowledge here and I get so excited reading the comments of the men and women talking drums.  Alot of the things I read in here are really inspiring.  I wish we could all get together and play and talk.

Later
