| Breaking drumsticks | |

 I'm sure you've always wondered, "What kind of drumstick does Mikey use?" Since I was trained in jazz drumming, I started with a light stick, so I quickly settled on ProMark 7As (made of Japanese oak), with the nylon tip, because I love to hear the high end in my cymbals. When I play with the Greatest American Heroes, we can get pretty energetic (especially if the crowd is fun), which really calls for a heavier stick, but I just can't do it - I need that light rebound bounce to keep me going. So, that means that I break sticks pretty often with GAH (including the last two gigs). I don't mind though, since it makes me feel like I'm really having a good time, and I have enough sticks to last me for years. About three years ago I bought a case from zZounds, since I have an old friend named Mark Schoenhals who used to work there (and he still might), and he got me such a good deal - I still have lots of sticks to break!
