Chuck Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 So I bought some used gear recently and they threw in a couple of pairs of sticks in the deal. They are Goodwood 5A's with nylon tips. I kind of like them. I think they're slightly lighter and a slightly smaller diameter than my Vic Firth 5A's. I'm not familiar with this brand and I just wondered if anyone knew anything about them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Sounds like they're Good. 😉 Sorry, couldn't resist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Free sticks are a good thing (see what I did there) since you get to try something you wouldn’t normally have. They can be hit or miss, though. I got a free pair of carbon fiber drumsticks with a practice pad a while back. Had some fun, but they weren’t for me in the end and I got rid of them. I play on Silentstrokes mostly anyway — the carbon fiber on those would certainly give meaning to the concept of “shredding” 😄 How do you like the Goodwoods so far, @Charles?

I didn't weigh them, but I do think they are slightly lighter than the Vic Firths. Just that little bit of difference in weight feels better to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 When I ordered a pair of Promark active grip sticks from Sweetwater, I also order a couple other brands of sticks, one of which was a pair of Goodwood 5A wood tips. They were only $5, so I figured why not give them a try. I've only used them a little bit to date because I'm focusing on the Promarks. However, so far they seem to be okay. I'll have to update after I've used them for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
