One of the things that I feel is deceiving about Collision is that there is nothing “flashy” about them, their designs are simple, their logo, albeit big, is also very simple.  It is very little you can tell about them by simply looking at them.  Oh, but the devil is in the details!  My sticks arrived not much after I had a one on one call with Carlton Banks, Collision’s CEO.  Frankly, not only I was pleasantly surprised by Carlton’s humility and easy-going nature, and a sense of familiarity.  I was totally awestruck when I grabbed the sticks!.  Their weight distribution is something I’ve never felt with any other brand.  The light almost next to nothing coating on them.  I do love the feel of raw wood with little lacquer.  (that way the body’s natural oils transfer much better to the wood),  Another thing that caught my attention was how Collision’s 5As are just a tiny bit larger than other brand’s regular 5As.  This makes them a perfect pair of sticks in my opinion.  You can actually distribute their weight and adjusting it by grabbing the sticks at different heights.  This is brilliant, simply because by changing my grip’s height, I can modify my playing style to accommodate different playing situations and music styles.   Simplicity, a sincere intention of goodwill and help drummer, and maintaining a humble attitude. All those things and all the things I mentioned above are more than enough reasons to openly recommend Collision Drumsticks to other drummers out there.
