My name is Derek Bonn from St. Louis, MO. I am extremely excited and happy to be joining the Collision Drumstick family of artists. I’ve finally found the sticks that are perfect for me! I’ve been playing the drums for over thirty years now, and I’ve tried all the major brands out there. When I first picked up a pair of Collision 5A’s, I could immediately tell a difference, and after a short time, realized just how amazing these sticks are. Not only are the 5A’s about a tip length longer than your average stick, but they are also lighter to the touch, allowing me to connect every time, and move around the kit more effortlessly, especially during fast tempos. they are built tough, and are more resistant to breaking. I’ve put them to the test, and they just last longer! With a wide variety of sizes available, Collision is a solid choice for any level of player. I’d also like to express how great the Collision customer service team has been. They’re always there if you need anything, and they work very closely with their artists. So impact your sound with Collision Drumsticks, you won’t regret it!
