Outgoing Contact to Drummers
This is my list of Drummers I have contacted, or the list of websites that I have to still contact. It is actually quite a pain to search for and find these sites. Google just has too many irrelevant hits, and it takes forever to find each individual band or drummer's page to check if they have a store, and if they offer sticks... Feel free to use these links yourself to grab your own set and please let me know if you know of a page that I do not have listed yet so I can add those sticks to my ever growing Drumstick Collection!
The list contains either the drummer's personal webpage with a shop listing their drumsticks for sale or their webpage or Facebook link with a contact option. Some web shops offer only new, only used or both, some autographed, some not. I have had "some" luck contacting sites to get used and/or autographed sticks instead of new... but it all depends on if the drummer is actually involved in the sales or if he signed a stack of sticks and handed off the shop duties to a 3rd party. If they offer a personalized option, chances are the drummer is involved and you might be able to score a used set if you so desire instead of a new pair. Personal collection preference.
Obviously if they have a web shop with sticks available, all I have to do is save up some money and place an order. If I am just sending them an unsolicited message, WISH ME LUCK that they are willing and able to accommodate a request! So far, some have, some haven't...
