Tech Tip Tuesday: A vs. B Side Stick Comparison

What is the best way to perform a side stick on your snare drum, over the tension rod, or splitting the difference between two tension rods?

This particular question has been living rent-free in my head for the past couple of weeks, so I thought it would be appropriate to compare and see which one is more effective.

After experimenting, here is the conclusion I came to:

When I hit the side stick over the tension rod, I found that the sound made was more consistent over a long period when playing.

On the contrary, when I slit the difference between two lugs, I achieved the same sound, but the consistency factor went out the door.

Now, this could have been because I didn’t hit at the same angle for each example, and that might have changed the consistency of it.

Either way, this made me think about how I should approach this technique, moving forward, to ensure I get the most consistent sound to serve the music.

Let’s hear what you guys have to say. What side stick technique do you use? Why is it better than the other options? Let’s talk about it!

Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you guys!! Okay. Byeeeee. 🥁🤓👊🏻❤️🙏🏻
