For Ages 13 and Up. When you're buying a set of drumsticks for playing the drums, there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, you need to decide what kind of grip the drum has. Different drummers use different grips. You want a sturdy and comfortable grip that doesn't slip and doesn't leave hot fingers from a cool plastic grip. Different types of drumsticks come in different shapes. Snaredrums come in mostly flat, round, or square shapes. Bass drums come in mostly conical shapes and are about twice as long as snare drums.
