Try the Crossovers, that’s one of the strokes we designed this stick to handle. Also, every thing we design and the materials us d have a natural dynamic range. If any drummer exceeds that, then the result are what you can expect. It is up to a drummer to develop the skill sets to determine how best to play in a dynamic musical situation. Otherwise maybe play another instrument that has an amplifier and a volume control.
I really tought he would rate "normal" wood sticks, from different sizes, woods, brands, tips and etc. I wasnt expecting a bunsh of very experimental weird sticks...witch is also interesting review.

You know Jared, you're one of the greatest drummer i ever have seen.... I remeber many years ago you was kind of shy behind the drumset, allways with a serious face and for me, unrelaxed... And now: A rocket on the drums! Relaxed, cool, amazing drummer with a happy face and for me one of the best teacher ever! Thank you for all your videos, your love for us musicians and your inspiration.
I love that video! Nearly 20 years ago I bought my first pair of "Hot Rods". They lasted only a few weeks. The second pair was better and I found a way to repair them myself. I replaced the single broken rods. We had a rehearsal with a new guitar player and while all the others talked I repaired my Hot rods. The guy looked at me with big eyes like I was inventing my own Light Saber. Take care and greetings from Germany!
Very interesting video. Suggestion for a future installment of a comparison like this, review them by category. So that as a viewer we go from category to category with all the variations of the "same type of stick" in sequence to compare them in an A/B test
I like how focusing on the sticks makes Jared come to his natural 'groove comfort zone'. I think you have a lesson with Benny Greb teaching us about the 'drummer's muscle' that keeps us turning towards the floor toms while playing a fill :D
I have large hands and have always been a Vic Firth 2B guy (danny carey signature is nice) but for the last few years I've really enjoyed using the VF Matt Garstka models. Lately though I tried some Vater 2Bs and fell in love again with what a heavier stick lets you do.
My first vid of you guys was the rim shot vid. Kinda thought you guys had way to much energy but I'm so happy that I kept watching cause you guys fuel my want to learn drums till I hopfully can't hold it anymore and ask for some for my birthday☺ ( 1 I'm a teenager and 2 I found you guys today 🙂)
I think those crossover sticks are for reggae, when you want to rimclick almost everything, and the design will give you the sound of holding the stick upside down, a common technique by reggae drummers to enhance the sound of their rimclick.
Crossovers are a combined stick and bundled rod concept. We leave the skin on the bamboo rods so they are much stronger than standard rods. Because Crossovers are made on a stick platform, they are rimshot and cross-sticking friendly. We drill a hole in the end and insert and epoxy in the bundle of bamboo. Right t the base where the bamboo bundle is connected, there is ‘an enlarged area that is solid wood. This is the target zone when going onto the bell. The bell sound produced is just like a stick.The Crossover have a huge dynamic range. We have 7 models of Crossovers to cover just about anything!
It’s a Bridge System. There is a video out by Peavey explaining why they made their drums the way they did. I am so happy to own one of their drumsets, they’re pretty great sounding!
I've been using Promark oak 2b with nylon tips on my ekit, recommended by my teacher. So far they've been pretty good at bouncing off the walls when they go flying out of my hands, not bad at all ;)
As a beginner, I haven't seen sticks like these lmao. That's awesome. EDIT: I had to replay the mallet playing, that's some epic sounds that thing could make. Oh my God.
I love the clear difference of opinion coming from the post editor. He clearly said a different rating at the end of some of the later sticks, but while the timing of the overlay is still perfectly on point the value shown is not what he said.
The one stick I use which isn't on here is the Vic Firth Hickory American Classic Rock. They're thicker and a bit heavier stick than most. Great power and attack. They last forever and pretty good for the price.
So far the best sticks I've used are Promark, Mike Portnoy signature 420x with activegrip. They are very durable and even when my hands start to get sweaty they have tons of grip
I have no Earthly idea how I wound up on your video, but I’m sure glad I did. This video was fascinating. I’m not a drummer. The closest thing I got to drums was back in high school. I was in the Flag Corps. in the marching band. In parade formation, the Flag Corps. was right behind the drumline (great movie, by the way lol). When practicing for the halftime shows, to save the field for game day, we’d use the back end of the Senior parking lot. We’d get into parade formation outside the band room, and march to the Senior parking lot, the drumline playing a cadence. When we were marching through the Senior parking lot, the drumline set off the car alarms. LMAO It was just so damn hilarious. At least us chicks in the Flag Corps. had to smile all the frickin’ time. So there is that. lol Anyhow, thank you so very much for the entertainment. ❤🥁❤
From the perspective as an audio engineer and not a drummer I have to say that those Vater Splashstick Heavys sound fantastic. For a heavy back beat sound without much toms I would straight up prefer those over normal sticks.
Quick question about the active grip, do they cause any blistering ot hot spots at the fulcrum? I've used ProMark grip tape, and it caused a blister. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
@@jackehlers2072 no they don't. I find the active grip treatment works really well, especially for me as I have a very light grip and used to drop sticks like it was my job.
@@tbiffard As far as I know - not every Radial set is badged. They also made a cheap "International II" series, but It's nothing special. Terrible hardware. Shells are bearable, at most.
its 3:07 in the morning and i've never been so scared of jared beating the kit into submission with dummy thick dowels after i accidentally turned the volume all the way up
At first I was like “wow these sound so good on the drums” and then I realized that I could trip and fall so hard that my my face got molded into the head and it would still sound incredible...
@@skulleton right? I was reading this and was just fascinated by some people's initial thoughts on things..like what on earth made this guys brain come up with that lol
I started this video saying: I'm just gonna skip through and only watch the ones that look interesting... Me an hour later: Guess I have to go back and watch it all again to remember the ones I liked...
One of the more unique sticks I’ve ever used…and loved…Hornet 5B. Crazy ergos and what a feel. The company is gone and I only have my one pair for dropouts. I was thinking of going over to the Amish and have them cut a few pair out. LOL
I love my 5A Neil Peart signature sticks, been using them for a few years now and they are great and light weight but I chew through them fast. Still a great pair of sticks and they are fairly cheap so I stick with them. Side note also very versatile sticks, I am able to play in different gigs with different styles and they just work.
Gotta say, I love these videos. Get a good idea of some of the unique products that are available that we might not know is out there. I was however, put off a little bit by the way you played one pair of the hotrods. Intended to be a low volume set but you played them like a sledgehammer, and rated them a 4? Probably last forever if used as intended. I wouldn't put a cast iron skillet in the microwave, but I guess it can be done!
He was just trying to put them at the word of the advertising. It looks ridiculous to play hot rod and blastick type sticks so hard, not to mention how much they cost to begin with.
Cool review on the sticks... I am learning how to play Timbales and for practice I use a heavy thicker wooden tip stick made by VIC ...very comfortable for practicing. Then I have two more sets for the actual usage on the Timbales made by VIC ...no tip...exactly the ones that you kept is a two-tone color. I have 7/16, 5/8, 1/2 inch..don't like the feeling of plastic either. The sound is too dull. Great review.. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁👍👍👍👍👍
first time i saw the pro mark tubes was 1997, modern drummer festival. Paul Wertico play his drumset with some kind of cloth over the kit. So the sound of the tubes was more evident
I suggest trying Drumart's softshot, they're like in between a stick and an hot rod. It's made of wood and you have a big sound out of toms and great definition on cymbals with a medium/low volume
We thought it was near $1000 but did an actual count after we filmed and it was much more. Hence the difference in what I said in the video and the title.
I do like these product tests on the channel and your opinions on their feel. But, I believe many of these products were tested/recorded incorrectly. Lots of these are meant to be played in an acoustic live application (room mics) and not on a close mic'd studio setup with in-ear monitors. How you would play, dynamics, and tambour will all change, often dramatically, when playing in that situation. This is where lots of these types of sticks, brushes, mallets, etc. shine.
Very good comment Wd. It is very difficult to show case the ‘implement’ so that the viewer can fully appreciate the nuance and sound variation. I notice from many comments in the feed that a lot of drummers are strictly drum stick type players but hopefully videos like this and the importance that the addition of other types of implement to help make the modern 20th century drum set live into the 21, 22 and more. We all need to open our minds and be as creative as possible otherwise this instrument could go the way of the harpsichord....lets explore new ideas not just combinations and permutations of rhythmic patterns!!!
Chris Goodwin ... I use brushes almost exclusively, and if it keeps me out of the clear cauldron, I’m happy to. Although, I’ve always had an affinity towards brushes [li’l cathartic for me] and would rather err on the side of quietness. I only have a bass, a barely mic’d keyboard and a couple voices to compete with tho. Hot rods for cross stick, and mallets for soft cymbals. Just recently switched to a similar but different set of thin steel brushes, and these have noticeably more rebound. So be choosy. Originally, I made a set of copper strand brushes out of an old CRT degaussing cable. Similar wire size, but softer sound than steel, and felt better on a djembe. Non-pro tip... I have my Med, and Fast crash stacked, Fast upside down, so I can get the brushes in between for a nice soft wash/swell, without switching to the mallets. Welp, didn’t mean to write a book, but there you have it.
@@JoelKreider thanks 😊 I do have and use brushes, I just don't spend time enough with them to develop good technique. It's definitely "fake it til you make it" for me and brushes haha
Vater is known for durability but I swore them off because in the span of a month and a half I broke about 3 pairs of Vater 2b’s. One of them was during a Soundcheck just fresh off the sleeve… Vic for life it seems for me 🔥
He had a line made by VF of different types of sticks and beaters. That was 20 years ago, all of those items were discontinued, just the timbale sticks are still in the catalog. I have the pair of Mazeta, which is a maple stick with a small felt ball on top. They were a perfect choice of stick for this one contemporary piece I played in college, but that's it. It's now just around my practice room for a conversation starter.
My goto sticks today is any stick that is moderate thin, light and has small plastic tip. But i did use Rikki Rocketts stick from Vaters, they were awesome, i have no opinion on Rikki Rockett, but the sticks was great, and i can't understand why no one has made similar sticks...
So outstanding ! I own three of these kits: one RBS 22", one pro 1000 18", one 751 22": so visceral and vibrant: one of the rare hilights in the drum pool.
You could!!! It is the exact same material. It’s called sorghum, they actually take forever to make, all made by hand, We actually sew them into a fan like a whisk or broom. Here’s the trick, we force the handle are into a rounded shaper and tape them so the feel is like a firm stick. Did you notice what Jard came back to the Cornhuskers and said he preferred them. We spend a lot of time figuring out how not just to make things sound right, we are all drummers....they have a I feel right, or what is the poin!!! Thanks for you funny comments! Dave
Wish I was more like you able to say "I'm never gonna use these" but I'm the kinda guy that's more like "I'm keeping these too because you never know" lol.
Hi Glad you noticed that!! I own the patent for this model. It is called Foam Core Multi-rod Drumstick. I designed it in 2004 and sold them as Stingers. I knew Steve Smith. In 2095, we were doing a clinic in Toronto at Soul Drums. Steve was into his Indian music at the time. He was performing with a tabla player, I brought the sticks, he played them and loved them. It took us several months to convince Vic to add them to the catalog. I gave Vic the exclusive rights to the design, we cancelled the contract in 2018, and they became Stingers again.
Which of these would you add to your stickbag?
Probably the brushes
The tubes look pretty cool
Vater Splashstick Rock got my heart \m/
All
those new drumeo vater 5a sticks 😉
Never be ashamed of your small stick bag my young apprentice. It's what you do with the sticks in the bag that count.
thanks palpatine
Thank you your highness
I read this in your voice
That's what she said
@@ethan2080k haha
The natural sequel: Rimshot all these drumsticks till they're broke.
Try the Crossovers, that’s one of the strokes we designed this stick to handle. Also, every thing we design and the materials us d have a natural dynamic range. If any drummer exceeds that, then the result are what you can expect. It is up to a drummer to develop the skill sets to determine how best to play in a dynamic musical situation.

The only thing bigger than the Drumeo franchise is Jared's stickbag
Danny Moreta 🤣🤣
And the amount of ads they have on a video that’s is an ad.
The stick bag i use for band class is bigger lol
Am I the only one who found taking the sticks out of the bag satisfying?
wow! good to see you here alejandro!
I know what you mean! :)
I don’t have a bag to take them out of :(
No it doesn’t

Guilty as charged.

For an hour long video i think that's respectable
Wow, that was cool - I had no idea there were so many varieties of non-traditional sticks.

The felt on the mallets will last longer if you avoid touching them with your hands because the oils from your hands actually breaks down the felt.
this turned out to be a display of Jared tastiest playing!!!
Honestly the headhunters castaways sounds like it could be a refreshments song
The first sticks should get a bonus rating for matching the drumset and your shirt Jared!
Right?!
I like how focusing on the sticks makes Jared come to his natural 'groove comfort zone'. I think you have a lesson with Benny Greb teaching us about the 'drummer's muscle' that keeps us turning towards the floor toms while playing a fill :D

Aye that snare switch at 19:37 was kinda clean tho

Crossovers are a combined stick and bundled rod concept. We leave the skin on the bamboo rods so they are much stronger than standard rods. Because Crossovers are made on a stick platform, they are rimshot and cross-sticking friendly. We drill a hole in the end and insert and epoxy in the bundle of bamboo. Right t the base where the bamboo bundle is connected, there is ‘an enlarged area that is solid wood. This is the target zone when going onto the bell. The bell sound produced is just like a stick.The Crossover have a huge dynamic range. We have 7 models of Crossovers to cover just about anything!
I feel like a lot of these would sound really good played on congas, maybe timbales, etc. Also wood blocks or jam blocks.

Although, I’ve always had an affinity towards brushes [li’l cathartic for me] and would rather err on the side of quietness. I only have a bass, a barely mic’d keyboard and a couple voices to compete with tho. Hot rods for cross stick, and mallets for soft cymbals. Just recently switched to a similar but different set of thin steel brushes, and these have noticeably more rebound. So be choosy.
Originally, I made a set of copper strand brushes out of an old CRT degaussing cable. Similar wire size, but softer sound than steel, and felt better on a djembe.
Non-pro tip... I have my Med, and Fast crash stacked, Fast upside down, so I can get the brushes in between for a nice soft wash/swell, without switching to the mallets. Welp, didn’t mean to write a book, but there you have it.
@@JoelKreider thanks 😊 I do have and use brushes, I just don't spend time enough with them to develop good technique. It's definitely "fake it til you make it" for me and brushes haha
Ain’t nobody gonna talk about how Jared’s grooves were solid?😁✊🏽👌🏽😂
Vater is known for durability but I swore them off because in the span of a month and a half I broke about 3 pairs of Vater 2b’s. One of them was during a Soundcheck just fresh off the sleeve…
Vic for life it seems for me 🔥
Sarah Thawer would love the jingle spring sticks
"just the tip, or the rubber, or the wood!" 🤣😂
Have you ever considered trying any of Alex Acuna's sticks by Vic Firth?
I looked at their site for some different types of sticks but never saw them.
@@DrumeoOfficial they're under world percussion.
He had a line made by VF of different types of sticks and beaters. That was 20 years ago, all of those items were discontinued, just the timbale sticks are still in the catalog. I have the pair of Mazeta, which is a maple stick with a small felt ball on top. They were a perfect choice of stick for this one contemporary piece I played in college, but that's it. It's now just around my practice room for a conversation starter.
25:46 didnt jared just do an intro the most epic metal album of all time
My goto sticks today is any stick that is moderate thin, light and has small plastic tip. But i did use Rikki Rocketts stick from Vaters, they were awesome, i have no opinion on Rikki Rockett, but the sticks was great, and i can't understand why no one has made similar sticks...
good video, but gotta say, that peavey radial pro kit sounds lush!!!
So outstanding ! I own three of these kits: one RBS 22", one pro 1000 18", one 751 22": so visceral and vibrant: one of the rare hilights in the drum pool.
i fuckin love the drum set, the color and the sound...., is a good video, is crazy how much you find them in a shop.... always one go crazy....
The soft corn headhunters look like something you could sweep your deck with
You could!!! It is the exact same material. It’s called sorghum, they actually take forever to make, all made by hand, We actually sew them into a fan like a whisk or broom. Here’s the trick, we force the handle are into a rounded shaper and tape them so the feel is like a firm stick. Did you notice what Jard came back to the Cornhuskers and said he preferred them. We spend a lot of time figuring out how not just to make things sound right, we are all drummers....they have a I feel right, or what is the poin!!! Thanks for you funny comments! Dave
Zildjian cymbal mallets are extremely durable I've had mine for years and have used them regularly. They're still in perfect condition.
Wish I was more like you able to say "I'm never gonna use these" but I'm the kinda guy that's more like "I'm keeping these too because you never know" lol.
...and end up not using it. SMH
The stingers are the same idea as Steve Smiths Vic Firth version, designed for very light playing with bounce.
Hi Glad you noticed that!! I own the patent for this model. It is called Foam Core Multi-rod Drumstick. I designed it in 2004 and sold them as Stingers. I knew Steve Smith. In 2095, we were doing a clinic in Toronto at Soul Drums. Steve was into his Indian music at the time. He was performing with a tabla player, I brought the sticks, he played them and loved them. It took us several months to convince Vic to add them to the catalog. I gave Vic the exclusive rights to the design, we cancelled the contract in 2018, and they became Stingers again.
