Techra Carbon Fiber Sticks Review and Sound Check

[@dancold916]

Great video, thanks for making this.👍 Just a word about the difference between the Dutch carbon fibers (Kuppmen).. they are solid whereas the Techras are hollow and have a rubber shock abdorber in the grip.

I like the sound of your ride cymbal. What kind is it?

[@boarheadblast]

That's the Paiste 602 Modern Essentials 22".

They look cool, they actually look cooler than I can play if you know what I mean.

[@boarheadblast]

Do you mean you're concerned with your technique?

[@Silversmith70]

@@boarheadblast Yes that. I feel like I am plateauing and not improving much.

[@boarheadblast]

If you don't mind me asking, have you ever taken lessons and/or work on rudiments?

[@Silversmith70]

@@boarheadblastIts been years since I took a lesson and I never finished my rudiments. I was on dope back then and never finished anything. Now that I don't drink or use I need to start taking it seriously again.

I commend you on your sobriety. Drums are a great way to keep yourself motivated. Learning new skills is also a big part of recovery. I would look for a good teacher in your area.

On ride wood sounds more full spectrum, carbon cut all deepness or lows, little flat, like cheaper type Cymbals. Yes they different

[@boarheadblast]

You're right about the depth of the tone. That's definitely a trade off. It's like using plastic beaters on a bass drum instead of felt. I would probably not use the carbon fiber for jazz or folk rock, but for metal it works great. I low cut my overheads pretty hard anyways, because otherwise the low range gets real cluttered with guitars tuned to B standard...
