Owen Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) I bought a box full of 2nd hand drumsticks to use at work. In amongst them there were two sticks which were thinner and lighter. No tip, the same at both ends. I thought they were timbale sticks but timbale sticks they look heavier. What are they? I would post pics but they are in Church at the moment. I am not a drummer but can imitate one and can hold down a beat. We use an electric kit there - mesh heads. Playing it with these ultra-light slightly bendy sticks of wood is SO much nicer than proper sticks. But what are they?

Jakester Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Could be timbale sticks - I have some Alex Acuna ones and they're quite thin - thinner than a 7A I think. Some brands do do 'butt only' sticks (ahem), but they're usually the heavier ones. Could also be marimba mallets with the heads fallen off?

Owen Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Here they are with a pair of 7As for scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Yep, I'd say either timbale sticks or perhaps the one on the right is a guiro scraper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Thanks. I had not considered the guiro option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
