Filed under » Drums, Drum Accesories, Music, Funk, Rhythm, Aesthetics, Design, Spirituality, Angels, Master Drummers, Drumsticks, Trueline Drumsticks — DF @ 10:37 am I’m VERy Happy to Announce that as of Monday 15th May 2006 SiMoN the Daddy Funk is Endorsed by Trueline Drumsticks USA!
Many THANKS to Billy Ward (Who I hooked up wih in South London on Saturday 13th ~ Blog to follow!!!) Check Out the Super~Cool Photo of Billy & I Chatting (by the Gorgeous Pantherkitten) to the Left of this Very Blog!!! Special Thanks to Ian Kershaw @ Atlantic Distribution Ltd for making the whole thing Possible!! >>> You Guys Really ARE the BEST!!! >>>
So let Me say RiGht Now these Drumsticks are AMAZING!!! >>> I Use The Trueline “Tribal Assault” Model featuring their Patented “Power Ball” Grip>>> These things are MENTAL!!! >>>
What a GREAT PAIR of STICKS!!! >>>
These Drumsticks are HAND MADE in Vermont USA from Hand selected Hickory which is Specially Kiln Dried for Flexability & Strength. Billy Ward told Me that in ALL the Touring & Studio Sessions He has done with His Signature Trueline Sticks He’s NEVER Broken a Single Pair!! >>> That’s pretty Amazing! >>>
The Pair I Endorse are Designed in Collaboration with Danny Carey from the Band Tool >>>
What I LOVE about them is the Long Reach (they are apparently 3/8″ Longer than any other Drumstick on the Market)
They’re LIGHT & Very, VERY Comfortable to Hold & Groove with! >>>
The “Power Ball”is an Ergonomically Designed Grip~Shape just behind the Natural “Balance Point” of the Stick. It is Unusual, Original & Frankly PURE DESIGN GENIUS!!! >>> What I have found is this SERIOUSLY REDUCES Hand & Wrist Fatigue >>> I can Play Faster for Longer with these Drumsticks!!! >>> Which is Good News when You do as much Teaching & Studio Drumming as I do! >>>
NiCe oNe Trueline!!! >>>
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Checking Out the TRUELINE Website which is Informative & has a CALM Vermont Vibe!! Thes Guys have been Hand Crafting their Beautiful Drumsticks since 1981!!! >>>

ThaNks to the AnGels of Drums & The Funk for Making the Big Wheels turn in My Favour, Enabling Fate to Smile oN Me in this Groovy Way! >>>
Joy, Respect & Phat SeXy GroOVes to the PlaNet,
Keep it REAL & Let the LiGht Shine,

yes indeedey!! i’ve gone for the 1, 2 …3!!! i’m with you all the way Monsiuer DF.
wowzers! thats all i can say… wowzers!!! Truline Tribal Assault Drum Sticks >> you are amazing. i was playing last night for about an hour and with my new Truline sticks and it just felt sooooo good, you’re able to just completely relax your hands and in turn you whole arm un-tenses just as is should. and they’re sooo light! >> yet they deliver all the power and confidence needed in each stroke perfectly.

Wow - converted!! At first I thought these sticks were a bit gimmicky but now I’m in love!
I seem to be able to drum faster and smoother with these and in a more relaxed way. I have the tribal assault Trueline sticks but would be interested in trying out some of the other Trueline models too!
Funk on DF and thanks for introducing them to me man!
