So, we gonna start an IE band then? It's been a while since i could turn this bad boy up!
My campus band broke up when we graduated, and church music just can't make the class A tubes sing like i know they want to!

First of all I allways go with wood if I can because I think they sound the best, and I generally perfer 7As on fast songs, and then 5A on the slower songs. I think the 5's give you a better wood block sound on the snare rim. However the last time I went to get sticks I was looking them over and debating the size because of how often I break them and the guy suggest that I try Vater Fusions sticks. He said they were designed to be more resistant to breaking and that he had had his pair for a long time. So I went ahead and tried them and I really like them. I'd perfer it if the end was completely rounded off but I got used to it not being that way, they are pretty much the same size as 5As, so they're not to big which is a good thing becasue I detest huge sticks and I still have my first set and they're holding up really well. Here's a pic of them, only the first pic has wooden tips, something else that I don't like. I always go with nylon tips. I think they sound better on the cymbals especially the splash and ride.

Generally, I go with wooden 2B Vic Firths, wood tips, although I'll change occasionally depending on what I'm playing. The cymbals sound too bright with nylons in my opinion, so I always go with wood tips.

I've never played it so I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt it. If you notice the drum kit only has four pads lined up in a semi circle, and it's completely missing a high hat and it's pedal. So it's not how you'd set up a real kit, and it's missing some typical pieces, but it probably would teach you how to keep a beat, and when it's the correct time to perform a roll.

yes, but it looks awfully familiar to the pads that my friends who drum used to have when we were children.
