Hi all,
been here at SDS around 8 months. question: my stamina isn't what it once was, been playing 30ish years now mid 40s. I've been playing 55A's for literally decades. sounds like it's between a 5A and a 5B and is longer than a 5A. I play a lot of hard rock and the lighter side of metal. I'm wondering about a switch. I believe Stephen said he plays 5A's. What are people's thoughts? Does having a smaller stick make a big difference in stamina and speed and for those who have switched to a smaller stick did it take you a long time to adapt?
Thanks all! grateful for this community! - Matt
Vic site says: and specs in link:
With a diameter that sits right between the 5A and 5B, The 55A is the perfect choice for when a 5B is just a little more stick than is required.
