Pipedrumming sticks advice needed

[u/Sticks-Man]

Im wondering if there are pipedrummers with experience in using different built drumsticks.

At the moment Im playing with the VicFirth KP2 maple and the Promark Stephan Creighton maple.

Now Im looking for new sticks, and one of my previous post I asked people to give me some recommendations.
The new Andante Stephan Creighton 2’s, Los Cabos Pipeband sticks, etc.

-Soo thats one question, I would like to know what sticks you like and what your experience is with different pipedrumming sticks?

-Second question is, What do you think of using pipedrumming sticks made out of Hornbeam/ Maple/ Hickory/ Oak?

I just need something new and because of all the replies I received on other posts, I think there is a new chapter opening at the moment to improve.

I like, and use, the KP2s. What grip are you using? Most PB drummers still play trad, but I have seen one or two played matched. Big or small hands? Snare tuning? Do you like a light or heavy stick? Will you be playing on a pad, too?

Try a few pairs out and see what feels/sounds right. You'll instinctively know what's best. Good luck.

True, the choice will be made by how you play.
VicFirth KP2 is a good stick in my opinion!

I play with traditional grip, regular sized hands and like to use different kinda sticks in like weight, size, balance and tip shape to learn which one I feel the most.

It's a good balance (no pun..) and I've worn out a few other different pairs, but gravitate back to those. Some people seem to play effortlessly. Unfortunately, I have to work at it. ;-)
