How long have you been playing drums? Let me know at www.strawpoll.me/12159069

[@DarkRebirthband]

oh praise the lawd a new ben video

[@XeRo333]

Just recently got myself a pair of 5B Forward Balance in Hickory and in their new Firegrain series and so far I'm really enjoying them! But now I'm really starting to find some issues with my playing style with the Forward Balance sticks, so I'm now trying out the Rebound Balance sticks

[@thedearmusic]

Good to see you back on youtube again!

[@longdrums]

This is awesome man. You're a natural. Hands are sounding squeaky clean too.

[@BenMinal]

Thanks man that means a lot! I think you'll enjoy some the new videos I have lined up :)

[@jordyguitar]

Sooooo glad you're back! I"m not even a drummer!

[@BenMinal]

That's awesome :) Keep a look out for the project I'm launching in the next few months and you might become one!

[@jordyguitar]

Haha, will do! Who knows, I'll let you know!

[@AcapRoseknightDrummer]

that "holding at the back of the stick" technique...would definitely try that ben. thanks for the tip :3

[@EasyHeat]

5A guy myself. Will have to check these out. Sounds like a sweet idea.

[@jeroenverbeeck7925]

I'm not even a drummer but damn, I'll be watching Groovetube everytime :)

[@cliffjackson2257]

Great tips on how to hold the sticks!! How long have you been playing

[@richardwilson9690]

Promark drum stick balance 5B hit snare drum Sounds track perfect

[@richardwilson9690]

Select balance forward 55A 5 80

[@Triss88]

Just switch back to Vic faith, found promark to just not feel right compared, and this is after years of playing different promark stick.

[@joaodepaula]

Hey Man, what about this Istambul Hats? Great hats!!!

[@cliffjackson2257]

Ben I've been playing drums off and on for about 15 yes haven't played for about 10 yes now going to start up again and start taking lessons next week like your sound how long have you been playing and any tips you got would be great!!

[@BenMinal]

Cool man, awesome that you're getting back into it :) I've been playing about 13 years.

[@danleaning8381]

You're a real inspiration Ben!😁

[@ghiblinerd6196]

how many cymbals do you break a month?

[@BenMinal]

Hardly any, maybe one every 6 months when I'm gigging regularly. Angle them so you're not playing directly 90 degrees of the edge and they'll last longer.

[@nazzare79]

The 5B pro round have more rebound than the standard 5B?

[@johnmichael642]

super vid.. i wish they did a couple of variations on length too

[@nathanwatts3023]

Two Top drumsticks VIC FIRTH AND PRO MARK

[@HaloAdmiral]

Nathan Watts Personally, I prefer Pro Mark and Vater :P

[@bene9603]

@benminal are u endorsed by promark

[@brookie2464]

I like the weight of a 5b but want the size of a 5a as they feel more comfortable but are too light

[@joshedwardsOTR]

Try Oak Sticks!

[@neilomac]

Rearward grip reminds me of the proper way to grip a Japanese sword - it's all ring, pinky and thumb.

[@BenCaffrey]

Ring, Pinky and Thumb....I've seen that video on a Dutch import I'm sure.

[@richardwilson9690]

selected balance 5B

[@gaberomero127]

Both Forward and Rebound?...or...?

[@Stuugie.]

[@patrickvanvlooten]

Dude, you seriously like your potassium don't you!? Not a drummer also, but I find this very informative, keep up the good work!

[@BenMinal]

I'm a fan of the carbs dude keeps me fuelled up!! Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@jakegambino]

[@adammartin3675]

[@daniilg4356]

[@Jeff-jz5pr]

[@richardwilson9690]

Promark 5B Balance

[@contaclite4590]

So many bananas

[@CrNgLrD]

i don't play ProMark stick because they break within a week. i even owned 4 pairs of japanese oak sticks and they lasted me maybe a few months. i have the vic firth version of them and they've lasted over 6 months (then again i haven't been playing all that much)

[@paxtonsingleton2317]

It depends . I started playing with the cheapest sticks i could find and they lasted fine most of the times. Then i switched to pro mark and believe it or not one pair lasted 8 months . Wood is like a living thing . Its not consistent . Thats why sticks of the same pair may have a slight difference in weight . Your sticks can brake or not brake for many reasons , based on the way you hit ,you play ,what you hit and what you play . You can have sticks that last for months and sticks that last for two weeks . When we are talking big brands its almost the same. Wood is not as consistent as other matterials . I love pro mark.

[@deannatale8349]

5rotflol it's funny you say that. I've had a pair of Promark 747s in Japan Oak for about 7 years of consistent playing and they still hold up fine, I don't typically use them for rock stuff, I prefer stuff like 5Bs for that, but they were the first pair of drumsticks my grandfather got me, I still use them and they still work great. I did buy a pair of SD1s for concert band from vicfirth and they were shot within a semester, since then I've only used promark SD1s

[@cliffjackson2257]

Great tips on how to hold the sticks!! How long have you been playing

[@BenMinal]

Thanks Cliff, glad it was useful. Playing from the back of grip (or more importantly feeling the energy from the back) is a great way to get more power without burning your wrists out. What else would be helpful to learn? Always looking for feedback on new videos.
