What Drives Your Creativity?
Depends on what I am listening to, who I am watching.... a lot of the time seeing someone thriving brings out the best in my own creativity. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I have been playing Vic Firth drumsticks for almost 20 years, the 5B is my go-to model as it is heavy, thick and durable. I have played other brands in the past, but none come even close to the feel of Vic Firth sticks.
