Interesting you bring this up. I've been figuring out what sticks I like here recently.
When I got my e-kit, I got a pair of VF ROCK sticks, I believe they're called that, and really had a blast with them. I had also gotten a couple other pairs of 5A's which I played around with on the pad and such. But, I really never picked a pair that I liked. I mostly used the ROCK sticks on the e-kit cus, ya know, ROCK! 😁
Anyway, I recently got my PDP kit from a friend and it had a couple pair of 5A nylon tipped sticks with it. The first time I sat at this kit with my ROCK sticks, it was LOUD AS HELL!!! So, I figured I'd try the nylon tips and they just seemed quieter(maybe relative though😁).
I'm still going back and forth trying to figure out what works best, but all in all, I don't feel like either of my wood 5A's, nylon 5A's, or the thick heavy ROCK sticks feel any different to me.
On a side note, most of my acoustic kit practice is done with homemade silencers and it could have an effect which I may figure out better when I'm able to play more open later.
Anyway, enough of my rant.
