Hobbies


To the typical bystander, this photo is just a bunch of sticks. However, to a drummer, this is much more. When I look at this picture, I can see and hear many things. I can hear the different tones of each stick: the soft scraping of the brushes, the sharp attack of the plastic tipped sticks, and the warm, natural tone of the wooden ones. The tape on my sticks makes my skin crawl with the thoughts of the thousands of blisters I've accumulated over the years. The red stick, which sits alone, reminds me of the long hours and hundreds of broken sticks. Each stick has its own purpose and its own history.
