1-on-1 with Jake Nissly | San Francisco Symphony

Join us for an in depth interview with Jake Nissly, Principal Percussionist of the San Francisco Symphony.
Jake’s new Signature Symphonic Collection stick will be the highlight of the talk! Hear what Jake’s goals were when designing the stick and, most importantly, how it sounds when Jake plays part of Delecluse 9!
We will also discuss Jake’s warm up routine and how he connects this with orchestral snare drum parts. Jake will demonstrate specifically what he does and what motivates him during this time of isolation. As a member of a major symphony orchestra, what demands does he face with conductors, different halls and the multiple orchestras he’s played with? Find out this and more on Wednesday, June 10th at 4pm ET.

I got a set of the Jake Nissly sticks from Sweetwater and they weigh over 90 grams each. Does that seem heavy to you? My Matt Howard's weigh about 75 grams each. Thanks

the nissly’s are pretty heavy but dexterous and the weight tends to get a lot of tone out of the drum. the howard’s are just a little different but both are excellent. the weight isn’t necessarily an issue but it’s a factor to the feel and sound of the stick
