[@headhunterssticksandcreati7334]

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.

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.

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!

[@diogoalmeidavisuals]

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

[@Doinstuffman]

Some of these make me glad I'm a Vic Firth player. No gimmicks, just the best friggin' drumsticks on the planet.

[@t3hgir]

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.

[@andywitch666]

this turned out to be a display of Jared tastiest playing!!!

[@Hyp3rr3al]

Honestly the headhunters castaways sounds like it could be a refreshments song

[@helemaalnicks6215]

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.

[@headhunterssticksandcreati7334]

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!

[@JoeLoffredo]

Wow, that was cool - I had no idea there were so many varieties of non-traditional sticks.

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. ❤🥁❤

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.

[@headhunterssticksandcreati7334]

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!!!

[@KazKasozi]

What is with the yellow colour for most of the avant garde sticks!

[@headhunterssticksandcreati7334]

Our colours to identify the Headhunters brand are Yelliow and Black. It depends on the ‘avant garde’ model we use a lot of yellow, but sometimes black too! In the drumsticks all the maple sticks are sleeves in yellow with black print, and the reverse for hickory, black sleeve, yellow print.
