## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between 'classic', 'forward balance', and 'rebound balance'?  Buying for son using on snare drum and also electric drum kit.**
A: Classic is a standard weight, the forward for me was better hitting on cymbals being a little heaver, and the rebound for me was a lighter weight same size just better bounce  on the snare. I'd go for the rebound 5A would be best for snare rebound hits and the electric kit.Regards,Joe

**Q: Looking forward to buy a stack of 12. Do you guys have them in 12 pak or any pak.**
A: They come to us in bricks of 6.

**Q: What size would be best for marching?**
A: I have always used 5A for drumset and as an all around stick size for concert snare work.  Believe most people prefer a thicker size for marching,  like a 5B but its been a long time since I played a marching snare.

**Q: I’m a very heavy play are they strong will they break?**
A: I haven't tried these yet, but I am a bit skeptical as I am also a heavy player and I have to use the shira kashi oak models to have sticks that last. I like to dig into my ride cymbals and it is hard on the tip of sticks because I like to use both the shoulder and tip on the bell. Rim shots are also required in a lot of material I perform so hickory gets ate up fairly quickly just behind the shoulder. I like how hickory feels and plays but a set was only lasting about 2 to 3 shows. 
The only 747 set I can find in shira kashi oak is the Neal Peart signature model so that is what I use. (When I started using this same model back in 1992 it was available in a non-signature 747 model.)
I typically play 1 show a week and 2 practices a week, playing post punk and contemporary music and a pair lasts me at least 2 months. I have made one pair last as long as 6 months. I typically don't buy signature models but this model I overlook because I am a huge Neal Peart fan.
