New Joey Jordison sticks being released
 

For lovers of all things Joey, ProMark are having a launch of his new sticks shortly and I thought some people on here may want to know about it.

Probably came to his senses :smash:

i'm interested to try them out. maybe they'll be good who knows.

what size are they closest to?

they look very 5Bish to me

Hmm...

how does he play with hands like those??

:D

only ever used one pair of pro-mark sticks, and they tore my hands to shreds! never going near them again.

really? i love pro-mark. i can't seem to break em, no matter what i do, whereas a pair of VFs lasted me a month tops... better than zildjian, which lasted me half a song maybe?

he really needs a manicure!


BADUM CHING!




[[[[[ anyway i might check 'em out if they're Jap Oak, but they look like hickory to me. hopefully the surge in fanboys buying JJ's sticks cause promark to drop their prices for somreason, lol

Further info I received today from Pat Brown at ProMark.

[I]For those asking what size they are….

They are a 5A diameter (.551” or 14mm), 16” long. Very similar to our Oak 777, but in hickory.

Round wood tip.[/I]

so basically like a slightly longer 5A with JJs name slapped on. exciting.

what the **** is that?

Swine Flu, earthquakes in Mexico, and now this. This is surely a sign of the apocalypse.

Lewis, do you have an email address I can contact you on?

Only 5A? I would've expected something thicker tbh. Jordison fans will be in for a surprise if they're used to his Ahead sticks. I'd guess these new sticks are going to be even less durable than my normal pair, cause I use 5A oaks.

Seems odd... I've always been using pro-marks and my hands are as soft as a baby's buttocks. Not a single callous or anything. Are you sure you didn't just try sticks that were too large/small for your hand?

The jordison aheads are actually already about that size. They're a lot smaller than a 5B

and yeah, they seem much rougher than Vic Firths, which i normally use. Used the Vic 5Bs for years now no probs, needed some sticks at band practice once so brought the only ones they had, Pro Mark 5B's, and it was hell. Theyre no where near as smooth as the vics;

That was after about 2 hours solid playing, I consider myself to have pretty good technique too. :confused:

well, my sticks never look like a used tampon, thats for sure....

****, i looks you crucified Christ on those damn things

ROFLMAO!

I love pro-marks, but lately I've been palying with some vic firth jazz sticks (because they're light, thin and aren't as loud) so if I were to use my pro-mark 5Bs, my hands would cry for mercy. I am interested in the Jordison's stick since I've moved to 5As of late.

Looks like you're AB negative :)

Fix'd

^:D:D

am i the only one throughly unimpressed with joey jordison, much less the sticks he uses? i'm sorry, but take away the double bass from the guy, and he seems like a 12 year old kid who's been playing for two years.

the guy's just weird to boot...

just about everyone on this board is a jordison/barker/ulrich hater.

Klekticist - Many of the most influental players in history were guys without a lot of technique.

Joey is marketable and thats why you see him everywhere in the drumming community. Whether hes deserving of such exposure is irrelevant. To be a good endorser you reall only need influence.

I give Lars alot of credit for Master/Justice. That stuff was done before quantization and other such forms of mega-editing existed, which is quite a feat.

Damo has a point but yeah, most people don't have a high opinion of Jordison and his playing
