5A med nylon tupp

Vierwaldstättersee - birthplace of William Tell and... Agner-Sticks are rapidly earning a reputation for first class quality and maintaining the timeless Swiss tradition of accuracy.

The straightest grained American hickory is selected, specially dried, and turned on a automated precision lathe into sticks. Hand checking and weight pairing also ensure high standards.

Paul Agner personally supervises quality control, works in production, and collaborates with pro drummers to develop new models and finishes.

Tolerant, well - ballanced, perfectly rounded, long lasting... Agner-Sticks straighter than arrow.

...as used by William Tell possibly.

TWINSTICKS

En av de største nyhetene for trommeslagere på musikkmessen i Frankfurt var den nye, revolusjonerende og patenterte Twinstick.  Trommestikker med tipp i begge ender, som muliggjør dobbelt så raske slag og mange andre spesialiteter enn med ordinære trommestikker.

Følgende omtale fra musikkmessen er hentet fra Musikkpraksis/Musikkweb:
”Twinstick er trommestikker med to tupper. Trommeslager Zacky Tsoukas hadde en imponerende demonstrasjon av hvordan disse stikkene kunne utnyttes. Han spilte raske 32-deler med én hånd mellom HH og skarptromme eller mellom tomtommene. Imponerende og fullt på høyde med enhåndsvirvel. Johnny Rabb er kjent for sine raske fraser ved å spille stikken over kanten av trommene. Med denne teknikken får du samme effekt uten lyden av kanten.”

Twin Drumming

The idea of Twin Drumming is to use both ends of the drumstick equally. Since an ordinary stick has only one tip and the blunt end doesn't sound good, it is not suitable for Twin Drumming.
To solve this problem, the Twinstick with 2 equal tips has been developed. Using them, it is now possible to play various rudiments with one hand on two toms, on a cymbal or on a high hat in which the single strokes sound equally. The Twinsticks make it possible to play with 4 tips, to that effect the variants are extremely versatile. Fast fills and real grooves become very easy to play. Check it out, it's worth it!

Grip Technique

As grip technique, the matched grip is suitable for both hands.
The stick is held in the middle with thumb and index finger (see illustration at the bottom left). The strokes are either created by up and down movement of the wrist, or at higher tempi with assistance of the ring finger and middle finger.

The Twin Grip represents a new and excellent grip technique. Taking the matched grip, the wrist is turned 90 degrees inwards. Index finger and middle finger are located under the stick while the ring finger lies on the stick and the thumb rests on the side of the stick (see illustration at the bottom right). Bring your drumming under control "in a jiffy"!

By the way:

The Twinstick can naturally be used as an ordinary drumstick, too. The change from the ordinary way of playing to Twin Drumming and vice versa is absolutely problem-free.

Concerning the set up of your drum kit, make sure to place toms and cymbal in such manner that you are able to hit the center of the drum heads with the tips of the Twinstick, and that you can play on the high hat and the cymbal with both ends of the stick.

The new possibilities do inspire and create a joy of playing undreamed of. Twin Drumming gradually leads you to a higher level.

Make the most of the rebound.

Independent of the level, every drummer will show off his musical abilities better to its advantage.
Whether you play Rock, Pop, Metal, Funk, Latin or Jazz, the creative use of the Twinstick makes a lot of fun and will shape and improve your style of drumming for sure.

Twin Drumming with Twinstick represents a new dimension in drumming and is a must for every dedicated drummer.
