Those sticks played a large role in retraining me to be a much softer hitter...


These are my sticks

Girlfriend bought me a set right after I started playing since she knew I was a huge Hawkins fan. I just love how they carry momentum in your hands and how full and boomy they play. I've tried to go to lighter sticks but nothing sounds as good as those do to my ears. I can't find any with the big sphere tip either.

They were tough for me to learn how to control but once I did I fell in love with them.

The biggest key to playing jazz is listen to a shite ton of jazz music. Chances are, you've heard thousands of rock songs, but very few jazz.


Very true. I find you have to immerse yourself in styles to truly play them. There are subtle nuances that you understand only by listening and playing as much of that style as possible. Jazz is extreme for your independence I'm sure you will find how much better your playing in rock funk or whatever becomes after playing jazz.
