Which do you prefer to use with RB drums, real drum sticks, or official RB drum sticks? I just got a new pair of On-Stage Sticks Selected Hickory 5A drum sticks today, and was wondering if they would be better to play with on RB drums? |

RB drumsticks ARE real sticks. They're pretty lightweight, but they are real drumsticks.
As to which to use, I guess it really depends on personal preference. Lighter sticks will probably increase the longetivity of a RB drumkit, but otherwise? It should pretty much be preference. |

I usually use heavier sticks on my left hand than on my right, but that was mainly as a skill-builder than anything. Using heavier sticks is known to be a good preliminary step to lighter sticks, as it could potentially increase speed and improve technique. _________________

"Official RB sticks" I believe are 7As. _________________

I use a pair of Zildjan 7A Nylon tips. I Like them better than wood for Rock Band / V drums because they give off a sharper feel when striking the pad, seems to help with accuracy. |

I agree with that completely, back when my goodwoods still worked I used 5B nylon tipped sticks it definitely helped quite a bit on the mesh heads. _________________

I'm obliged to use real sticks since I split one of the RB ones in half and the other one ended up kind of curved to one side; they didn't last long. I used 5Bs which I considered pretty heavy, but I have no idea about other measures. |
