Classic Vic Firth came up with a great idea - a grip to prevent slipping. These sticks can really help you hold on, especially if you're a casual player, but are not as effective for people like me who have overly sweating hands when playing. The sweat tends to cause the stick to slide just a little, but still retains most of the friction and as long as you aren't really playing hard, you should have no problems whatsoever. If you prefer playing with gloves, then the sweat/clamminess stays out of the equation entirely, and you're free to enjoy playing without worrying about any possible problems with your sticks. Even better, They come in most sizes and types, so whatever your preference, you might as well pick up a pair of Vic Firth's w/ Vic grip to add to your arsenal.
You can pick these sticks up at your local guitar center, or online at Guitar Center or Musician's Friend
Anything I missed? Think I should add something? Need some clarification? Let me know!
