ORIGINAL 5A and 5B GERMAN MATCHED GRIP HINGESTIX®

HINGESTIX® Practice Drumsticks, a learning tool that helps drummers understand proper grip, finger technique, and rebound so drummers can play more easily with increased speed and less fatigue.

The patented contoured swivel pads rotate to allow drummers the feel of an unencumbered, free-floating stroke.

HINGESTIX Practice Drumsticks simulate a loose grip so drummers can transfer that feeling when using their regular drumsticks.

HINGESTIX Practice Drumsticks are great for learning:

  1. Single strokes using the rebound. Like bouncing a basketball, the HINGESTIX simulate a loose grip where bouncing becomes easier
  2. Learning the double bounce for your “open” roll. Just throw the stick down once and let the stick bounce free for that 2nd stroke
  3. Learning the all-important “buzz” stroke for your long or “closed” roll
  4. Learning finger technique for more control and speed
  5. Learning proper grip by holding the red swivel pads between the thumb and index finger (or 3rd finger), and gently feeling the back fingers underneath the stick

Each pair of HINGESTIX Practice Drumsticks are balanced and pitch matched. MADE IN THE U.S.A.

FAQ From Fellow Drummers

How do I achieve a loose grip while holding my drumsticks?

The patented swivel pads automatically position your thumb and index finger at the fulcrum for a correct grip.

How do I keep my back fingers on the drumstick while I’m playing?

HINGESTIX necessitates the use of the back fingers to control the stick, because of their free-floating action.

How do I know that I’m holding the drumstick correctly?

HINGESTIX specially contoured swivel pads pivot at the fulcrum and forces the correct grip and builds muscle memory for proper grip on your regular drumsticks.

How do I achieve a loose grip while holding my drumsticks?

The patented swivel pads automatically position your thumb and index finger for a correct grip.

How do I feel the rebound of the drumsticks when I'm playing my drums?

A free rebound can only be achieved when you’re holding the drumstick loosely. HINGESTIX lets you feel a free unencumbered rebound because the hinged swivel pads rotate freely. When you hold the stick, you’re actually simulating a loose grip so that when you go back to your regular drumsticks you’ll realize how a free rebound should feel.

I've been practicing with the HingeStix Sam. What an absolutely brilliant innovation. Thanks for sending them. They really establish a natural grip in a non-intimidating manner. They affirm that musical control comes from degrees of looseness, not tightness. You need to get these in the hands of Music Ed non-percussionist grad students who teach percussion methods classes!

TESTIMONIALS

Every drum teacher should start out their students with these sticks. It’s a great teaching aid. - Hal Blaine (Legendary LA studio drummer)

Ron Smith

" Clever sticks! I must say today was a ‘pivotal' moment in my 55 year of drumming. The concept of the physics of "letting gravity do the work" is the essence of developing relaxed, improved stick speed. I am so glad your sticks led to this discovery. The Hingestix are great. Looking forward to making them a part of rebuilding my grip. Days like this make drumming that much more enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding! ”
