How Do You Make Drum Sticks Last Longer? Enter Collision Drumsticks!

The mark of a dedicated drummer isn’t just seen in their blistering solos and rhythmic finesse but also in the pile of broken drumsticks they’ve left behind. It’s a rite of passage for drummers to break a stick in the middle of a jam session or a performance. Yet, no one likes the constant need to replace them or the unpredictable moment they snap. So, how do you make your drumsticks last longer?

1. Choose the Right Material:

One of the main determinants of a drumstick’s durability is the material it’s made from. While most sticks are crafted from hickory due to its resilience and shock absorption qualities, the actual lifespan depends on the quality of wood and craftsmanship.

Collision Drumsticks stand out in this aspect. They are made from the highest grade American Hickory, ensuring a robust and durable feel. Every stick goes through a meticulous quality check, ensuring that it’s free from any flaws that might compromise its longevity.

2. Proper Technique:

A lot of broken sticks are the result of improper technique. Striking cymbals and drums at incorrect angles can exert undue pressure on the stick, leading to early breakage. It’s crucial to take lessons or work with a tutor to develop a technique that’s both effective and gentle on your gear.

3. Store Them Properly:

Don’t just throw your sticks into a bag after a session. Keep them in a drumstick bag or case that protects them from external damage. Storing them in a cool, dry place also helps in maintaining their durability.

4. Rotate Your Sticks:

Just as rotating your car tires can extend their lifespan, rotating your drumsticks can prolong their life. By switching which stick you use for your dominant hand, you’ll ensure more even wear and tear.

5. Invest in Quality – A Collision Promise:

In the world of drumsticks, you get what you pay for. Cheaper sticks might seem like a good idea initially, but they tend to break more easily. Collision Drumsticks, while being a tad pricier, offer an unparalleled level of quality. Each stick is weight-matched within 1.5 grams and pitch paired, providing a balanced feel. Plus, their unique Acorn Tip design ensures a fuller sound and longer lifespan.

In conclusion, extending the life of your drumsticks is a blend of the right techniques and choosing a product that’s built to last. Collision Drumsticks epitomizes this ethos. So next time you’re in the market for a pair, remember that a small investment now can save you a lot in the long run. Drum on! 🥁
