Glad to hear that! ❤ I was sad when you switched to Istanbul. I switched completely to Stagg because of your videos. I'm looking forward to future videos, also more from the Ghengis

Hi James where can I buy a stagg cymbals t shirt from.

I’m not sure actually! I got mine directly from Stagg so I would guess that any shops that sell Stagg would be able to order one in for you.

How are you finding the Techra sticks, James? I've a few pairs and I'm a bit betwixt and between with them.

@@TomDrummer95 in all honestly, they took a little while to get used to. Especially coming from wooden sticks. I have to say I’m really pleased that I stuck with them. If you’re going between them and wooden sticks then you’re probably going to be constantly feeling the difference instead. I’d say try only them for a month and see how you get on. The different series are also worth trying so that you can find what works for you as well. Ive settled on the colossus models, but don’t get on as well with the hammer of the gods. They’re great, but not for me - and if I’d started with those, it could have turned me off the sticks. I rarely drop sticks because of less hand fatigue now and they’re pretty much rimshot proof so instead of a pair of sticks lasting me a show or two, I’m getting 6 months out of a pair of sticks. In fact, I still haven’t broken the colossus 2B that I first got from them in October.

@@James-Chapman-Drums Nice, cheers. I appreciate the thorough response. My friend loaned me a pair of X-Carb 2Bs that I found to be too light. I've got a Black Diamond 2B that I do quite like, just struggling to adjust to the rebound. I really like the way the Vigil 2Bs feel in the hand, but I'm yet to try them on the kit. I think I'll try out what you said and go with them 100% for a month or so. They're getting some really big-name artists now, so they must be doing something right!

@@TomDrummer95yea at the end of the day, Virgil and Billy don’t exactly have bad technique! And they could get a deal with any company they want. So they are making amazing sticks. And the customer service is also excellent. The X carb is their weight relieved line and I feel like it’s more like using a maple stick than a hickory. I’d give the colossus a go! I like the black diamond, but for some reason the colossus just seem to sit better with me in feel. They’re more expensive, but given they’re practically indestructible, it’s not that bad haha! The Virgil 2B is fantastic because it’s the exact dimensions I prefer, but it’s also an X carb. Nice and light and I really enjoy them, but so far they’re the only Techra I’ve broken in 9 months of playing them. I use X carb when I want the feel of a normal sized stick, but have to play a little softer.

@@James-Chapman-Drums I'll absolutely take your advice James, appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to spell it all out for me, too! I've not long ordered a pair of Darwins, too, so your setup guides will be getting a few more clicks when they arrive.
