The New Drumeo Stick
► www.drumeo.com/drumshop/drums...
Looking at the wall of drumsticks at the store is both awesome and intimidating, especially if you’re just getting started or are about to try something new. What should you buy? How do you know what’s worth it, especially if it’s something you’ve never used before?
We spent over an hour testing and rating sticks so you don’t have to.
Vater, Headhunters, and Promark generously sent us $1453.47 worth of different models, from brushes and hot rods to straight up Franken-creations. Hopefully this monster review will help you decide which ones will give you the unique, alternate sounds you want from your drums!

#drumsticks #review #drumeo
Which of these would you add to your stickbag?
Probably the brushes
The tubes look pretty cool
Vater Splashstick Rock got my heart \m/
All
those new drumeo vater 5a sticks 😉
The natural sequel: Rimshot all these drumsticks till they're broke.
Try the Crossovers, that’s one of the strokes we designed this stick to handle. Also, every thing we design and the materials us d have a natural dynamic range. If any drummer exceeds that, then the result are what you can expect. It is up to a drummer to develop the skill sets to determine how best to play in a dynamic musical situation. Otherwise maybe play another instrument that has an amplifier and a volume control.
Never be ashamed of your small stick bag my young apprentice. It's what you do with the sticks in the bag that count.
thanks palpatine
Thank you your highness
I read this in your voice
That's what she said
@@ethan2080k haha
The only thing bigger than the Drumeo franchise is Jared's stickbag
Danny Moreta 🤣🤣
And the amount of ads they have on a video that’s is an ad.
I really tought he would rate "normal" wood sticks, from different sizes, woods, brands, tips and etc. I wasnt expecting a bunsh of very experimental weird sticks...witch is also interesting review.
Me to😂
Me: I’m only gonna watch 5 mins of this
Me 55 mins later: MOM JUST GIVE ME 5 MORE MINUTES!!!
😂😂😂
Guilty as charged.
Same so far, 38 minutes in
Am I the only one who found taking the sticks out of the bag satisfying?
wow! good to see you here alejandro!
I know what you mean! :)
I don’t have a bag to take them out of :(
No it doesn’t
I love you
What I’m doing here at 3 am I have school in 3 hours I don’t even have a drum set
Use margarine and ice cream containers.
Same!!! 3:44 am on a Monday lmao
🤣
lmao thats funny af
The first sticks would be great for the cajon, too!
Those vater monster brushes would be good for cajon as well
But dude, what if I don’t want to play the cajon?
@@noahbarnes9770 *cowbell intensifies*
"Or the ones at 13:45" 🤣🤣🤣
Let's get rdavidr to make his own Tubz
Would be a short video!
@@DrumeoOfficial do it tho!!!
You know Jared, you're one of the greatest drummer i ever have seen.... I remeber many years ago you was kind of shy behind the drumset, allways with a serious face and for me, unrelaxed...
And now: A rocket on the drums! Relaxed, cool, amazing drummer with a happy face and for me one of the best teacher ever! Thank you for all your videos, your love for us musicians and your inspiration.
Thought it would be a comparrison of normal sticks
Me too. Haha
Ya, me too and I play an E kit, so all of that sound stuff doesn't matter for me anyways
Joan _MUE92 Vic Firth makes sticks for e kits.
@@grachisol8236 for example? I found good sticks for e kit for myself. it's a Nova VF-N5BNB. maybe there is something better?
AlexTsaler they’re called American Classic Esticks.
38:02... call me crazy but i don't think he gave that thing a 9/10 xD
a lot of the rates differ from what David actually said, the editor must have been very tired
my bad, I saw rdavidr somewhere in the comments but I meant jared
@@sashaivanov995 are you tired? lol jk
For an hour long video i think that's respectable
The felt on the mallets will last longer if you avoid touching them with your hands because the oils from your hands actually breaks down the felt.
Cool
I love that video! Nearly 20 years ago I bought my first pair of "Hot Rods". They lasted only a few weeks. The second pair was better and I found a way to repair them myself. I replaced the single broken rods. We had a rehearsal with a new guitar player and while all the others talked I repaired my Hot rods. The guy looked at me with big eyes like I was inventing my own Light Saber. Take care and greetings from Germany!
Wow, that was cool - I had no idea there were so many varieties of non-traditional sticks.
I wanted to see him play with chop sticks.
I like how focusing on the sticks makes Jared come to his natural 'groove comfort zone'. I think you have a lesson with Benny Greb teaching us about the 'drummer's muscle' that keeps us turning towards the floor toms while playing a fill :D
Very interesting video.
Suggestion for a future installment of a comparison like this, review them by category. So that as a viewer we go from category to category with all the variations of the "same type of stick" in sequence to compare them in an A/B test
this turned out to be a display of Jared tastiest playing!!!
I really enjoyed this video. Watched the entire video for an hour just for the different kinds of drum sticks. Very informative. Thank you, Jared. God bless. Love from India.
I have large hands and have always been a Vic Firth 2B guy (danny carey signature is nice) but for the last few years I've really enjoyed using the VF Matt Garstka models. Lately though I tried some Vater 2Bs and fell in love again with what a heavier stick lets you do.
every time the tiny splash was hit:
15:55 - HH Fat Bastards
19:33 - Promark Brooms Medium
45:34 - 45:55 Vater Splashstick Traditional
55:12 - HH Crossovers II Poly Bead
57:55 - Vater AcouStick Solid
Thanks for the vid, nice to see a bulk test :)
My first vid of you guys was the rim shot vid. Kinda thought you guys had way to much energy but I'm so happy that I kept watching cause you guys fuel my want to learn drums till I hopfully can't hold it anymore and ask for some for my birthday☺
( 1 I'm a teenager and 2 I found you guys today 🙂)
Honestly the headhunters castaways sounds like it could be a refreshments song
Next video: trying all different types of stacks
Hah! This video was supposed to be 15 mins and it ended up at 1 hr. If we did stacks I think it would be longer.
@@DrumeoOfficial that's true 😂😂
@@DrumeoOfficial An episode on stacks would be interesting though!
With Felt Mallets as soon as the oils from your hand hit the felt that's when they start to break down!
Some of these make me glad I'm a Vic Firth player. No gimmicks, just the best friggin' drumsticks on the planet.
My personal favorite sticks to play with are the Promark ROCK 747 nylon tips....they’re very long and I love how durable and sturdy they are also!!!
The first sticks should get a bonus rating for matching the drumset and your shirt Jared!
Right?!
I've found that Vater grip tape wrapped from the butt of the stick to halfway point works just as good as mallets against a cymbal.
The boom and rumble of that bass drum is insane
I've been using Promark oak 2b with nylon tips on my ekit, recommended by my teacher. So far they've been pretty good at bouncing off the walls when they go flying out of my hands, not bad at all ;)
Lol! The tubes. "Oh, little bit of a tube sound" oh man cracked me up
its 3:07 in the morning and i've never been so scared of jared beating the kit into submission with dummy thick dowels after i accidentally turned the volume all the way up
I feel like a lot of these would sound really good played on congas, maybe timbales, etc. Also wood blocks or jam blocks.
I think those crossover sticks are for reggae, when you want to rimclick almost everything, and the design will give you the sound of holding the stick upside down, a common technique by reggae drummers to enhance the sound of their rimclick.
Crossovers are a combined stick and bundled rod concept. We leave the skin on the bamboo rods so they are much stronger than standard rods. Because Crossovers are made on a stick platform, they are rimshot and cross-sticking friendly. We drill a hole in the end and insert and epoxy in the bundle of bamboo. Right t the base where the bamboo bundle is connected, there is ‘an enlarged area that is solid wood. This is the target zone when going onto the bell. The bell sound produced is just like a stick.The Crossover have a huge dynamic range. We have 7 models of Crossovers to cover just about anything!
As a beginner, I haven't seen sticks like these lmao. That's awesome.
EDIT: I had to replay the mallet playing, that's some epic sounds that thing could make. Oh my God.
Stick creativity is endless nowadays! :D
So many tasty fills. I could watch you play all day.
I can't believe that I just sat here and watched sticks!! lol
Subscribed!!
I suggest trying Drumart's softshot, they're like in between a stick and an hot rod. It's made of wood and you have a big sound out of toms and great definition on cymbals with a medium/low volume
Aye that snare switch at 19:37 was kinda clean tho
I love the clear difference of opinion coming from the post editor. He clearly said a different rating at the end of some of the later sticks, but while the timing of the overlay is still perfectly on point the value shown is not what he said.
Man this is my favorite episode so far!
This is the type of content I love drumeo for and why I will be keeping my edge sub going even if I become a merman.
That sounds scary ,,ooh ,merman ,no thanks.
Jared’s got mad chops🔥🔥
I just watched 1hour of drum sticks... and I loved it
I have no Earthly idea how I wound up on your video, but I’m sure glad I did. This video was fascinating. I’m not a drummer. The closest thing I got to drums was back in high school. I was in the Flag Corps. in the marching band. In parade formation, the Flag Corps. was right behind the drumline (great movie, by the way lol). When practicing for the halftime shows, to save the field for game day, we’d use the back end of the Senior parking lot. We’d get into parade formation outside the band room, and march to the Senior parking lot, the drumline playing a cadence. When we were marching through the Senior parking lot, the drumline set off the car alarms. LMAO It was just so damn hilarious. At least us chicks in the Flag Corps. had to smile all the frickin’ time. So there is that. lol Anyhow, thank you so very much for the entertainment. ❤🥁❤
I started this video saying: I'm just gonna skip through and only watch the ones that look interesting...
Me an hour later: Guess I have to go back and watch it all again to remember the ones I liked...
Pro tip on the brush playing is to slow down as much as possible with the actual brushing motion. A lot of people I see look like they are trying to whip cream. Start as slow as you can and see if you can get the sound you are going for. Increasing in speed should be used for dynamics whilst pushing harder into the batter should be used for accenting specific beats within the rhythm. You are gently massaging the drum so keep it relaxed and don't try to create too much friction.
The one stick I use which isn't on here is the Vic Firth Hickory American Classic Rock. They're thicker and a bit heavier stick than most. Great power and attack. They last forever and pretty good for the price.
I've been using Promark 5A wood tip for 30+ years now......love them.
So far the best sticks I've used are Promark, Mike Portnoy signature 420x with activegrip. They are very durable and even when my hands start to get sweaty they have tons of grip
I almost put my eye out with a slick stick a few weeks ago.
first time i saw the pro mark tubes was 1997, modern drummer festival. Paul Wertico play his drumset with some kind of cloth over the kit. So the sound of the tubes was more evident
I want more stick vids like this out there
Cool video. Thanks.
I’m digging the ninja tips and crossover II’s both by headhunters. I’d like to try those out for church.
I watched whole video and im proud of it
Very interesting sticks which I have never seen oder heard before. Great :-)
Cool review on the sticks...
I am learning how to play Timbales and for practice I use a heavy thicker wooden tip stick made by VIC ...very comfortable for practicing.
Then I have two more sets for the actual usage on the Timbales made by VIC ...no tip...exactly the ones that you kept is a two-tone color. I have 7/16, 5/8, 1/2 inch..don't like the feeling of plastic either. The sound is too dull.
Great review..
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁👍👍👍👍👍
I REALLY liked the mallet sound on the drums!
I’m currently using Vic firth freestyle series and promark oak 747.
Zildjian cymbal mallets are extremely durable I've had mine for years and have used them regularly. They're still in perfect condition.
I watched it til the end, I guess I'm blessed by his stick bag or something...
Neat video. So far I use either Vic Firth 2B or Rock sticks for practice (build strength and coordination with something bigger than I prefer playing on). But I'd definitely include some retractable brushes when I get a kit again (I only have a practice pad for now). Maybe the dowels if I found myself in a small venue or church setting. And honestly, as someone who is also figuring out making a video game, some of the special effects sticks... probably won't be something I buy, if I'm honest. I can probably find good substitutes without spending some absurd amounts of cash per few minutes of audio recording.
Headhunters makes awesome stuff!They're just hard to track down.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this drum set looks. What is that blue ring hanging around the lugs, under the rib
It’s a Bridge System. There is a video out by Peavey explaining why they made their drums the way they did. I am so happy to own one of their drumsets, they’re pretty great sounding!
Pretty rare drums at this point, esp. in that color I would think

26:09 reminds me of the
Drum Channel Intro !
Gotta say, I love these videos. Get a good idea of some of the unique products that are available that we might not know is out there. I was however, put off a little bit by the way you played one pair of the hotrods. Intended to be a low volume set but you played them like a sledgehammer, and rated them a 4? Probably last forever if used as intended. I wouldn't put a cast iron skillet in the microwave, but I guess it can be done!
He was just trying to put them at the word of the advertising. It looks ridiculous to play hot rod and blastick type sticks so hard, not to mention how much they cost to begin with.
i fuckin love the drum set, the color and the sound...., is a good video, is crazy how much you find them in a shop.... always one go crazy....
Great vid. tons of fun to watch!! 37:59 tell me if i'm hearing things, but i swear he said 7 out of 10 lol!
At first I was like “wow these sound so good on the drums” and then I realized that I could trip and fall so hard that my my face got molded into the head and it would still sound incredible...
....what?
@@skulleton right? I was reading this and was just fascinated by some people's initial thoughts on things..like what on earth made this guys brain come up with that lol
@@bobbygalyon5580 drugs
I love my 5A Neil Peart signature sticks, been using them for a few years now and they are great and light weight but I chew through them fast. Still a great pair of sticks and they are fairly cheap so I stick with them. Side note also very versatile sticks, I am able to play in different gigs with different styles and they just work.
Ain’t nobody gonna talk about how Jared’s grooves were solid?😁✊🏽👌🏽😂
The tubz are great to keep your brushes protected in your bag
Promark, active grip, 7A, 5A, 5B, all wood tip. Stick choice depends on the music.
Quick question about the active grip, do they cause any blistering ot hot spots at the fulcrum? I've used ProMark grip tape, and it caused a blister. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
@@jackehlers2072 no they don't. I find the active grip treatment works really well, especially for me as I have a very light grip and used to drop sticks like it was my job.
@@010aray Lol. Me too. Thank you so much!
35:10 when the flies won't leave you alone when your drumming.
the first pair caught me off guard. those were super cool
As a broomstick user, I was intrigued to give the Headhunters Corn Stocks a shot to see if the feel and durability were better suited for my playing, but I can't even find that they exist anywhere but here. Being a fairly recent video, this is kind of odd.
He loves blue and black!!
I mean I do too so I’m not gonna judge him
Black and blue.
Jared trying to play the clap sticks over chops makes me wanna remind him to have patience.
Tublitz looked like fun to move around the set with
14:44 “flip them over… oh no no no no” 😂
25:05 great sound with the T5's!
i watched till the end and loved it.
He is seriously a fast clean drummer
Vater is known for durability but I swore them off because in the span of a month and a half I broke about 3 pairs of Vater 2b’s. One of them was during a Soundcheck just fresh off the sleeve…
Vic for life it seems for me 🔥
This was so much fun
The best regular drumstick I have ever used is the relatively new Diamondback Drumstick. I use a 5A but I would love it if you would try them and provide your own viewpoint. Previously I had been a beta tester and then user of the ProMark Fire stick but the #diamondbackdrumsticks are superior to any I have used. While I enjoyed the video, it seems primarily just a infomercial for Headhunters gear.
i love your videos jared!!!
GREAT VIDEO......very helpful.
On the headhunters stingers there's an error in the edit, where you say you give them 7/10 but the graphics say 9/10.
Not only that one. Someone was lazy at editing. hehe. there are e fev more. Non of the less great video. Thx
Here's what I've always done while gigging: I'll keep one pair of my favorite sticks for each type of playing (my favorite 7a sticks for jazz, etc.) but for "Average" playing I'll look for those deals where it's like 50 sticks for $50 and keep a ton of the same size of cheap sticks. That way I have a pair for every occasion but I also have cheap sticks I don't care about breaking/losing.
Who is the manufacture of your blue kit here? Even the RIMS mounts are exotic looking! I love it!
I switched to nylon Hot Rods because I too was sick of the easy breakage of the dowels. Less attack and bounce, but I'm no longer spending $300 per year on wood that lasts 2 gigs. I made some out of extra long bamboo chopsticks and their durability is superior to whatever Hot Rods uses.
I mean, Jared could play with some sticks from a tree and still sound amazing
At one point Vic Firth Rock "tree trunks" were my default, haha, and I didn't even really play rock. I eventually ended up and stuck with Vater 1A. 5B will do the trick if 1A are not immediately available but I like the extra length on 1A's. I don't like sticks that are particularly light or short.
my favorite are the fonald bruner jr. signature zildjians. perfect for both petal and fusion
Loving the new kit
Looks amazing😍
They sure are! Do you know what brand and model they are?
@@lucasjacks3594 They look like Peavey Radial. One of the best sounding drums ever...
Do peavy drums have a badge on the shells? How old are they? I remember seeing these in the 1990s but not really since then
@@tbiffard As far as I know - not every Radial set is badged. They also made a cheap "International II" series, but It's nothing special. Terrible hardware. Shells are bearable, at most.
I know the guy who invented the headhunter castaways and it took him 15 years to make them.
The stingers are the same idea as Steve Smiths Vic Firth version, designed for very light playing with bounce.
Hi Glad you noticed that!! I own the patent for this model. It is called Foam Core Multi-rod Drumstick. I designed it in 2004 and sold them as Stingers. I knew Steve Smith. In 2095, we were doing a clinic in Toronto at Soul Drums. Steve was into his Indian music at the time. He was performing with a tabla player, I brought the sticks, he played them and loved them. It took us several months to convince Vic to add them to the catalog. I gave Vic the exclusive rights to the design, we cancelled the contract in 2018, and they became Stingers again.
