My friend and I are percussionists and we decided to get each other gifts. I want to get her a pair of marching drumsticks and a pair for more drumset playing. I would know more about brands and stuff, but I'm more of a mallet player. I don't know my drumstick brands as well as the mallet brands like Mike Balter, ect.

So, what would be some good recommendations of brand names for this above mentioned playing?

i know marching sticks better than drum set sticks ill ask my father he should know hes the drum set maniac in the family XD
