The HingeStix company has introduced new models of sticks to the market, including a new, improved size 5A and a completely new variant – Thumbs Up (French Grip), which, as the name suggests, is ideal for drummers who prefer the so-called. French grip.
The HingeStix sticks are an educational instrument that helps drummers understand the correct grip, finger technique, and rebound so they can play easier with more speed and less fatigue. Patented contoured pads rotate to give drummers the feeling of weightless, free movement of the stick. HingeStix simulates a loose grip so drummers remember how they feel when playing with their regular chopsticks.
