HingeStix ® Practice Drum Sticks
Sam Ruttenberg introduces HingeStix ® practice drum sticks.
Designed as a learning tool, these sticks enable drummers to feel the rebound, develop finger technique, understand the fulcrum, hold the stick properly, and feel the whipping motion of the Moeller technique. HingeStix ® simulates a loose grip, so they are also useful in countering the effects of sore muscles which is a result of holding drum sticks too tightly over a long period of time.
HingeStix ® are recommended by Bernard Purdie (Aretha Franklin), Joe Morello (Dave Brubeck), Hal Blaine (Simon and Garfunkel), Jonathan Haas (NYU), Al Payson (Chicago Symphony), Justin Faulkner (Branford Marsalis), and Richie-Gajate-Garcia (Sting, Phil Collins).
HingeStix ® are $24.95 plus shipping and handling and available through Paypal and other major credit cards.
They are available in 5A and 5B models.
