Drum Sticks

Sticks?

"I can't honestly tell you. I just noticed that they have 'Stewart Copeland' printed on them, so I guess I use the Stewart Copeland model (from Regal). My mallets have white handles and a clear plastic head, and I break about two a night." Before the first gig on the current tour last summer, informed sources at Drums Ltd. said Copeland's drum roadie, Jeff Seitz picked up a couple of crates of Regal Rock wood-tipped sticks and Mike Balter Lexan #92F mallets.

I use to wrap my hands in duct tape too, but just last week I found some gloves (Drum Gloves, from Rug Caddy), and they're pretty neat, but they haven't got it quite right (for me) yet; at least someone is trying. This, unfortunately, is what happens after two or three gigs (holds up a pair with a worn-out thumb web on the left hand).

Sticks according to Jeff Seitz:

Calato Regal Tip; the Rock model with the wooden tips. It's not a very heavy stick; he likes a lighter stick. He goes more for a slap rather than a big thud.

I know this isn't much, but who really cares about what sticks he uses or used? Sorry to get your hopes down about there being magic sticks that make you as good as Stewart.
