I'm seeing some brands in my music store that sell drumsticks which have impact-sensor illumination or glow in the dark. Has anyone ever had the thought of buying these?
Some of them are pretty cheap, but they don't live up to the standards of ordinary drumsticks. Others are more expensive than the ordinary to maintain the looks of the ordinary while still sticking out the flashy features.
Here's a list I've looked at so far:
Electro Glo Drumstix (http://glodrumstix.com/)
I heard that these are the basic of all builds to have the shock-absorbent illumination in them. But I can't find any deeper details in that, which I pretty much need.
TAC - The Ant Commandos (http://www.theantcommandos.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44&Itemid=54)
Because it's powered by a battery, and has a unique construction, suppose that handle is screwed on, wouldn't that fall off or even break easily if used by a metalhead?
VIC FIRTH Lite Stix (http://store.drumbum.com/skuSTK-43.html)
What a pricey beast! Not only do they put in USB-rechargable features, but they want to maintain the look and feel of an ordinary drumstick. They don't say about size preferences, so it may be hit or miss because of its untold weight.
AHEAD Laser Drumsticks
Those things look like they can burn an eye out! I heard a lot of good and bad about this one. Probably best for these when playing in fog. I'd probably be tweaking and adjusting these more of the time than playing with them.
HipTrix Glow-in-the-dark Drumsticks
Since their website is being reorganized, I can't find any details about this one. If it doesn't cost batteries, then that's both good and bad.
Intec Glow Drumsticks
Well... I don't have any idea.
Tell me, are these kinds of sticks all show and no go, or do they actually prove a better use than normal? Have you tested out these kinds of sticks? How long have they lasted, and how comfortable are they?
