The grips are usually defined by two colours i.e Pink or Purple

In training though, they make it easier by letting you tie different colour ribbons on your sticks. Or you could be a drum major, then you only have one "stick" to worry about. |

Like Jimbo said, the information is there and you have to read it. We can give answers but you need to at least try and learn something about the basics

How else do you remember what stick goes in which hand? I must admit, we use small paint dots now to ensure that the sticks don't get mixed up as the ribbons were a real pain when using gloves and WD40. You don't want to be lefting when you should be righting do you

It wasn't over zealous, it was the iron filings the SBS frog put in the polish

How are you getting on with the old research Aeroastro? Come up with anything yet? How old are you, just out of curiosity? Everyone else allright? Been a while.
