HingeStix

The unique, patent pending drumsticks — HingeStix™, by Sam Ruttenberg, helps drummers feel the rebound better, helps develop finger technique, allows drummers to hold the stick correctly, and helps drummers understand the whipping motion of the Moeller technique.

I found the HingeStix™ to be a great practice tool for aiding and establishing a good fulcrum while working on natural rebounds, finger technique, the Free-stroke and more.

The HingeStix™ is designed to allow for three different settings, giving the drummer/percussionist the ability to position the hinge right where they like to hold the drumstick.

In my own personal use of theHingeStix™, while working on finger-strokes, I noticed that my left hand was slightly different than my right. Within just several days of use, the HingeStix™ helped me isolate a slight variance in my left hand position and correct it.

I highly recommend the HingeStix™ as a useful practice tool for every level player; beginners to advanced, students and teachers. Serious students of the art of drumming will want to use the HingeStix™ to check their technique and fulcrum, just like I did. Drum and percussion educators will want to keep at least one pair of the HingeStix™ handy for the student who is struggling with allowing the stick to free bounce, developing finger control, maintaining a good fulcrum, and developing consecutive rebounds.
