Which drumstick sounds best on the drums?

Answer 1

It's really mostly a matter of opinion, what music you want to play, and how much money you have.

I'll start at begginer drum sets. If you're getting drums for a little kid, Pacific drums makes very good kid drums. If you're looking for a standard size begginer drumset, Thunder is very good.

If you're an intermidiate player, 2 to 4 years, you are probably starting to care more about the sound of your drums, and how good the drumset works for what music you play. If you want high toms for jazz, look at gretch kits, though most of their good kits are rather expensive. If you want deep toms, Tama makes very good bubinga/birch sets that have low toms and sound great for rock and metal. But I warn you, some of their double bass drum kits get different sounds out of each bass drum. But you run the risk of that with any double bass drum kit. If you have alot of money, get pearl or Yamaha. They may eat your wallet, but they sound amazing and last forever. They can take a HARD beating. But if you're into rock, look at mapex kits wich personally I prefer, though I play the ddrum diablo punx series wich sound pretty good, especially if you play speed metal and thrash. And I do recomend those.

If you're a very good player and have alot of money, definetly the Ludwig classic maple kit sounds, looks, feels, and plays amazing, but are very expensive. But if you're like me and LOVE those power toms, truth drums are probably the best. Many very good drummers like Jordan Mancino of As I Lay Dying and Devin Chaulk of Haste The Day use them and sound AMAZING live and on studio records.

Over all, Yamaha makes the best drums. I've been playing drums a long time and have played LOTS of different kits and have spent time researching how different wood sounds and how different sized drums sound. I've talked to lots of professionals and store owners who have mostly pointed me in the right direction for whatever I may want to play. If you want the best drums for thrash and metal, Ddrums, pearl, Yamaha, and truth drums are the best.

for jazz, gretch is definetly the best.

For strait up rock and roll, Mapex Ddrums, Yamaha, pearl and Ludwig are very reliable to sound great, feel amazing and look cool.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT AN HB DOUBLE BASS OR ANY KIT BY HB, TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS, DON'T. THE HEADS THEY GIVE YOU ARE CRAP, AS ARE THE CYMBALS. THEY FALL APART EASILY AND DO NOT RESPOND KINDLY TO THRASH. THE HARDWARE BREAKS LIKE ICE. IN SHORT, YOU'RE PAYING THE MONEY FOR HOW THEY LOOK, NOT THE QUALITY.

Answer 2

Well it depends what sort of sound you like the best. The bigger the drum stick the louder the sound. Its the different style of drum that determines 'better' sounds.
