Its likely that your hands get sweaty after playing for a while. This can cause your sticks to slip away. The Vic Firth PureGrit 5A Drumsticks are designed to tackle this problem without affecting your groove. That means you retain the 5A feel of the stick something you lose when wearing gloves. The PureGrit 5A is lacquer-free but undergoes an abrasive process to open up the grain and make it more abrasive. Its not the tackiest solution but its comfortable and has minimal effect on your playing while providing grip for your sweaty hands! No more sticks flying away mid-set. For many drummers thats the sweet spot.
