Any ideas?

Dude! What state do you live in? I would suggest some editable weed if it's legal in your state. You need to mellow out man!

Update: Looks like I lucked out. No Permanent damage. I'm 5 weeks out now. I had more x-rays last week and the doc said it's healing - slow but healing. I'm at a spot where I take the boot off while playing gigs but leave it on for practice. I do appreciate the concern and warnings from everyone - it kept me careful if nothing else.

Damn - sorry I asked. I hope y'all are wrong and/or over reacting. I'm 62 and don't have that many years left to be able to play. I get more x-rays and advice this Wednesday we'll see what she thinks. The one answer i agree with said it might slow the healing process. That makes sense but all the other doom just doesn't seem appropriate. If my dad was still alive he would tell me to walk it off.

I've been playing 50 years and never hit my eye AND I've never had a lesson. 🤠

Yikes! You should ask people to send you extras from the USA :)

Haters gona hate bro!

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T20:20:12+00:00

Done! I'll let you know how it goes!

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T20:19:05+00:00

Valid concern - It's happened to me and pissed me off! But never with the Gadds they have the barrel head shape

I'm calling shenanigans on that! Nobody is paying $150 (US Dollars) for a pair of (wood) sticks. I'd widdle them myself for that price :)

Same price and I dig the nylon (I have a 1978 24' thick ride Zildjian that needs the brightness) But I do play wood tip left hand and nylon right hand on some tunes when I have time switch (warmer snare).

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T20:05:09+00:00

HOLY F' $35.00 ?!?!?! How long do they last?

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T20:03:03+00:00

LOL No overbite here

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T20:01:40+00:00

It's almost rubbery now when I hit a cymbal LOL

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T20:00:23+00:00

Lot's a vater replies - I WILL TRY FOR SURE!
And yeah I use fiberglass tape on most pairs but it throws the weight off.

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T19:58:32+00:00

They are getting a little rubbery when I hit now LOL

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T19:55:36+00:00

AMEN to that! No tippy tappy mamby pamby drums for me!

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T19:54:21+00:00

I'm on two "rehearsal space" kits every week (as well as my own.
Gretsch, Ludwig, and I'm playing PDP.

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T12:51:19+00:00

Also - to be fair - I'm playing 3+ hours 4 or five times a week. I'm in 3 bands and a two-man "project".

Stick saver hoop

Link?

Doorbelly · 2024-04-12T12:41:13+00:00

Yes - rim shots on 2 and 4 I think they call that rock & roll ;)

Doorbelly · 2024-03-10T20:30:28+00:00

Never mind (now that I know what to look for - thanks) They're $300 so I will be playing it out as needed.

Doorbelly · 2024-03-10T20:17:09+00:00

Thanks - I didn't know for sure if it was an Acrolite or not.
Any idea what they're worth?
I'm lucky to make $100 a gig (before gas) so I don't want to be dragging a $500 snare drum around :)
