Thanks, All, for the well-wishes! I'm not sure of the process, but after registering, it took a bit of time to be able to actually post - not a bad thing. I ordered a 12-string Grand Stick, Rosewood, classic tuning, with the Stickup pickup. I originally selected a different pickup, but after hearing so much praise for the Stickup, went that root - and they were kind enough to change my order. I also ordered a Fishman Loudbox Performer, which came immediately. Quick background ... I've wanted one of these for about 30 years. I've been a drummer, and have tinkered with acoustic guitar for a long time, but have never actually touched a Stick. The timing was right, so I finally got around to it. My plans are not to perform - always hated that - but to enjoy learning this amazing instrument and create music. Again, thank you all, and I will post photos as soon as this beauty arrives. |

Check out what drummers Konrad Park and Luc Bergeron do with the Stick. Stickup is a classic, good choice. |

I just viewed both drummers playing Sticks - very encouraging! Thanks for sharing their names. |

Welcome Daniel! I've also come to the Stick after drumming for over 5 decades! I am just now 3 years in, and very happy with the entire process. This forum is great for info, friendship and camaraderie. I thought I would be ecstatic if I could play one song in 3 years, but I have about 30 or so now that I can stumble through. It's amazing how you don't know what you don't know! After 3 years I am finally starting to understand the geography of the Stick and how it all works so amazingly well. As many others have already stated in other posts, do yourself a big favor and take lessons (I've been doing that for a while now with Steve Adelson). It will make your understanding and playing a lot better and faster. There are a number of very qualified teachers here on the forum. There are also plenty of self help videos and posts to get you going. I'm sure you will love it! I didn't know what this instrument was but it was always in my thoughts after I saw one being played at a 'Blue Man Group' show; I finally researched it and bought one some 20 years later! Most of all, have FUN! |
