Recommendation For Replacement Sticks

[kenshireen1]

I really really like the black Steve Gadd sticks, but they are 15 3/4.
The barrel tip is a perfect size and I like the feel.....
Is there any other sticks out there that have a similar feel, weight and width and tip and are 16 inches.

In the meantime I am playing Regal 8a maple.

I want a barrel tip

Los Cabos Jazz model is where it's at! They come in red or white hickory. They have been my go-to sticks for several years now. IIRC, they are right at 16". They have a great barrel tip and are 0.575" diameter, again, IIRC. I am so glad I made the switch to this company.

My mistake, it's been awhile since I've used them so I were thinking they were barrel and not round.

Make some tiny concessions and try an American Classic 85A Vic Firth

There's a long SD4 in the Modern Jazz series w/ barrel tip.
MJC4

Modern Jazz Collection - 4

The unmistakable sound and feel of maple! A 5B diameter with a long taper for great rebound. Small barrel tip provides a focused cymbal sound.

Modern Jazz Collection - 1

A slightly elongated 55A shaft with a medium taper and oval tip. The thicker diameter helps deliver a little more weight and emphasis to the ride cymbal.

It would appear that the Agner NY Fusion is right at the specs you request (13.9 x 408mm converts to .547 by a trifle over 16"), albeit with a garish green lacquer. If you're into it, I'll go grab you a pair from the store up the street and send them along gratis—I think they're a little rare in stores outside Oklahoma, as the US distributor is in Tulsa.

Well, into the Abyss. The Vic Firth Estick is almost identical to the Gadd but comes in at 16.5”. Trust me, this is the stick you are looking for. I own bricks and bricks.

I don't know the Gadd sticks. Never got a chance to try any, but I recently latched onto Vater Matrix sticks.
Barrel tipped and 16 1/8" long. .57" diameter.
Nice, agile stick that gives the cymbals a bit of a woody ping and won't over power lighter cymbals.

Good day. Vic Firth Modern Jazz MJC4. Should match everything to a T , just the barrel tip is not as big as Gadd's.

Check out the VF Steve Jordan signature. From SJ’s mouth it’s because he wanted a longer version of the Gadd stick. It is a little skinnier but it helps redistribute the weight. Another similar is the SD4 combo in maple.

Zildjian Kozo sticks are 16 1/4" long. They have a nylon barrel tip, very similar to the Gadd sticks. Same diameter, 8A.
I tried the Gadd sticks back in the day, but the short length didn't work for me. I had to hold them way back at the end to get rebound. I'm not Steve Gadd.

Thanks, I just received.... cool color... they only weight 47 grams...they feel nice...big barrel tip which I like because it bounces off the heads really nicely.
I am sending out the Regals tomorrow... What I really like about Regal is the tacky lacquer finish that they use. Also very well balanced
