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.

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

Looks like you're AB negative

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.

[Damo]

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.

[Drum Phil]

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

That should never happen, regardless of the sticks you're using.

Get a teacher.

I had one, i had a local teacher for 2 years, then went onto a few lessons with Andy Edwards a few years back. Since then I've played in two bands, recorded 3 ep's, and one full length album. I'm in my 8th year of drumming.

Thats the only time thats ever happened, my hands are usually fine. I've been playing for more than long enough to critique my own technique, and I'm pretty sure thats not the problem.
