Vintage sticks - Page 3 - Vintage Drum Forum

If I recall correctly, as I had more than a few pair back in the day, was the Rogers BR Sticks also had the shaft tapered where you would hold the stick.

In the early 70's I even made a few duplicate pairs in shop class on a lathe from various woods because I liked those sticks quite a bit.

Another stick I liked, was I believe the Ludwig Ray Bauduc Model. I forget, think if memory serves me correctly it was a 3A, but might've been a 5A? Had a uniquely shaped tip-bead.

Also have a slew of the old now gone Densiwood Sticks (7A), must have a whole box of them new sealed, and 5A as well. If I recall, these were made by Capella.

I recall Capella also made some weird stuff, sticks with 3 nylon heads on them, the two outboard beads being attached with Nylon Monofilament. Think I have a few pair, never used them though.

And they also made those big 36" long "Cheech&Chong" Sticks, like in the movie Up In Smoke, "Earache My Eye" LOL (My mutha talkin to me tryin to tell me how to live! LOL)

MarkD!

That is correct regarding the Rogers Buddy Rich model. If you look in this thread on page2/post#13, you will see I have included that stick in the BR Collection ... 2nd down from the top. I'll attach it here for you as well as a single pic that show the "scalloped" portion to excellent view. Buddy requested the stick be made that way during his Rogers endorsement, but it disappeared after he left Rogers in 1967 .. meaning .. he never requested that his sticks have that scallop cut out of the stick again. Was just one of those BR things at the time! Here are a couple pics from my BR stick collection. ENJOY!
