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:
-
Single strokes using the rebound. Like bouncing a basketball, the HINGESTIX simulate a loose grip where bouncing becomes easier
-
Learning the double bounce for your “open” roll. Just throw the stick down once and let the stick bounce free for that 2nd stroke
-
Learning the all-important “buzz” stroke for your long or “closed” roll
-
Learning finger technique for more control and speed
-
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.
