Ahead Drumsticks

by Martin Grossman

Just this week I heard an interview on NPR with a guy who collected the broken sticks of famous drummers on eBay. He didn’t do well. No one would pay more than a couple bucks for them. I suppose Ringo Starr’s might bring in a little more cash, but no one seemed interested in the cast-aways some death metal bands former drum major. Nowadays I see that many vendors are selling “unbreakable” drumsticks. But as far as I can tell, none of them seem to “feel” right. These guys push a drumstick that at least seems to last longer. Les Ulrich says so, anyway. But maybe he gets free sticks to say that. Check ‘em out at Guitar Center.
