    I agree with many of the points made here, but the sticks are not virtually indestructible. I often play on the rims for timbral contrast, & the Techra sticks chip, particularly the 5B sticks, whereas wooden sticks dent a bit, but do not chip like Techra sticks do.

    Hello Sir\ Mam, I Visited your RUclips channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO is lacking, though your content is fantastic. Do you know why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 38/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I can help you improve it 80-90% if you'd like. I think your RUclips channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.

    • @freddycharles
      @freddycharles Год назад

      That's the whole point of practicing with the heavy sticks. I move easily back to 5a's because the heavy sticks train certain muscles and the thinner sticks such as 5a's train other muscles. So using them both, you cover the whole spectrum of all the muscles in the hand and fingers.
