How to choose the drumsticks
The weight and diameter of a stick is usually indicated by number and letter respectively, eg. 7A, 2B, 5A.
The higher the number, the lighter the stick. Diameter wise, a 5B stick is thicker (larger in diameter) than a 5A stick.
Drumstick Weight Categories And General Stylistic Applications
The three main stick weight categories are 7, 5 and 2 although drumsticks conventionally scale from 1 up to 9.
7 Series Sticks
Generally used for jazz, marching bands or any lighter musical setting. A 7A stick for example is thinner than a 7B and a 7AN or 7BN is essentially a 7A and 7B stick with a nylon tip instead of a wood tip.
5 Series Sticks
5 Series sticks are slightly thicker and heavier than the 7 series and are the most commonly used drumstick used worldwide. They are versatile enough to be effective in most styles and genres.
2 Series Sticks
2 Series sticks are considerably heavier than 5 and 7 series and are usually used by hard hitting drummers in rock and metal contexts.
Choosing Your Drumsticks
It is important to keep in mind that everyone’s stick choice is personal. Firstly, one should consider what music they will be predominantly playing as this is the easiest way to narrow down what stick is for you. There are many physical factors which can contribute to what stick is right for you such as hand length, arm length, wrist strength and so on but the best way to find the right stick for you is to simply try them out. Most music shops will have a practice pad set up near where they sell their sticks for customers to use. Don’t be afraid to test out whatever sticks you may need to and make sure you experiment with plenty of different sticks within the different styles that you play before you make your decision.
