Recovering |
|
| |
 Even
the best made stick will, one day, require new felt. It is
most effective to renew the Felt whilst the stick still sounds
good, before it becomes a major problem and to protect the
under layers. When more layers have to be renewed it is not
only more expensive, but it will also change the sound to
a greater extent, this is usually not desired and also changes
the attack of the stick
We will replace the felt exactly as to your wishes, this
can also be undertaken at short notice and from other makes
of stick |

With all the different methods to cover a stick it is possible
to achieve the desired sound and attack. A stick for rolls or
example is covered differently to a stick that is used for rhythmically
complicated passages.
The piece of Felt is generally seperated into two equally thick
halves. The sticks can either be covered in the outer, harder
side or with the inner softer side.
The harder covering sounds on the whole more percussive, and
has more attack, but has more f…….?sound. For solo
passages we tend to recommend the softer felt. |

Repairs
It always seems to happen at the wrong time, a small tear
in your favourite stick, that slowly gets bigger and starts
to make annoying noises. Time to replace it? Not necessarily,
most sticks can be repaired or have the problem area replaced.
While usually the felt will also have to be removed we usually
recommend to start the repair when the felt has to be replaced
anyway.

Extras
Maybe you’ve got some sticks where the head to heavy
or uneven is? When the stick is OK then it might be worth
changing the head. The same applies when the stick is too
short. The following are always possible:
- Changing or improving the head
- Changing the stick
- Enlarging the stick by up to 3cm
- Changing to a double headed stick
- Silicon handles
