Why I use Balbex drumsticks ?
Choosing the right stick is very troublesome for many drummers out there. I’ve tried many sticks but there was always something that did not satisfy me 100%. When I finally got the Balbex 5B Ringo I, I realized for the first time that something was right. It had a great grip, perfect feel and seamless balance.  It was then, that I contacted Balbex and told them that I needed the 5B Ringo I to be little longer and I finally got the perfect stick for my playing! The Psycho Stick! Thank you Balbex!!!
