1st drum post: Drumsticks...

What comes into your mind when you hear the word 'drumsticks'? Is it this? (see below)

A usual wooden drumsticks. 
Many thought that only wood is used to make drumsticks. However, there are alternatives to wood. Drumsticks can also be made of the following:

Aluminium

Polyutherane 

(polymer) Carbon fiber

Need an example of a non-wood drumsticks? Take Ahead for example.

It uses 2 'ingredients' of the above to make their sticks (aluminium and polyutherane). However, are you worried about hitting the drums with an aluminium stick? Are you worried about the shock it would send to you hand? (Everyone knows that aluminium is much denser compare to wood.). Well, I will explain more tomorrow.

Note: Ahead Drumsticks are available at Drums Resources.
