Don't buy cheap sticks. It's not worth the money.

In fact, I will ONLY use sticks made out of oak. They are harder and much more durable and rarely break prematurely. Hickory and maple sticks break much more easily.

Though, you shouldn't be breaking sticks on a pad, and if you are you are doing something wrong hahahaha.

For pad practice, get a pair of Promark 5A Oak sticks and a pair of Vic Firth SBTH3 which are snare drummer specific sticks.


Buying the 12 pair for $20 or whatever is a waste of money. 2 pair of oak pro marks lasts me longer than all 12 pair of those and cost a couple dollars less. The cheap ones break with nearly every rim shot. They are terrible.

Brabbed the pad (its a POS) and some Pro-Mark 5Bs (cuz thats what they gave me)

Fucking pad screws won't loosen

Okay, now learn these basic rudiments for starters:

Single Stroke roll
Double Stroke Roll
Triplet Stroke Roll
Single Paradiddle
Flam

Speed is not the main focus. Consistent strokes that are evenly spaced is more important to work on control.

As a snare drummer, you'd be best off using traditional grip as it is standard for snare drumming. Matched grip isn't used often. Do both, but focus on traditional grip.

Spell check broken?

Yes, if you are left handed, the traditional goes in your right hand.

Stanton Moore is probably the best drummer out there right now...just my opinion
