BuddhaOfDrumming Registered: 12/28/03 Loc: Toledo, OH	http://www.drumlines.org/threads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/136634/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1/nt/5 Almost 6 pages of response, knock yourself out! EDIT: After reading the first few pages of the thread I said, it's not very helpful. So, I'm just gonna say: normal electrical tape works. Thats what I use.

Nico Registered: 02/21/05 Loc: Raleigh, NC	Plain old electrical tape. I only put it on the top half of the stick though (anti-rimshot) because I don't like the feel. _________________________ [color:"#FF0000"]RXT [/color][color:"#0000ff"]Unit #1000[/color]

BismarkUMD Registered: 11/09/03 Loc: Maryland, College Park	you want 3m electrical tape. it is avalible at any hardware store. here is what it looks like. most of the senior members of this site will say this is the way to go. [edit] and that other thread that was posted earlier does deal with what type of tpe. its toward the back of the thread but it's in there. you could also have checked http://www.drumlines.org/threads/showflat.php?Number=19917#19917 http://www.drumlines.org/threads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/73846/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1 or http://www.drumlines.org/threads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/20814/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1 Edited by BismarkUMD (06/26/05 12:52 AM) _________________________ Bismark Strikes Again!

Decoy Registered: 08/24/03 Loc: Battle Creek, Michigan	3M tape is widely used the most. If you want to put on a show, use athletic tape, spray paint them a bright color, buy black lights, and play. _________________________ [color:"yellow"]!!!

drumline_YOUKNOW Registered: 10/15/04 Loc: Persian Gulf...as of June	depends on your point of view. imo, stick tape helps keep the line looking uniform, and if the right tape, and right technique is used to tape them, it will help the sticks last longer. for my practice sticks, i have multiple layers, for added weight, for more muscle building. _________________________ -Vince

Argentum Registered: 02/22/04 Loc: Pennsylvania	Everyone in the drumline tapes their entire stick with white 3m electrical tape. This makes all the sticks look uniform from the stands, even if someone is playing with old, beat-up sticks. I mean, not everyone can afford brand new sticks for each performance.

Anonymous Unregistered	yea we use just plain old electrical tape too. since our school colors are red and black, on some games we'd tape them with red electrical tape, and others black.

Bassn81 Registered: 07/01/04 Loc: Joliet, Il	Dude, just get any electrical tape. Dont worry if it doesnt say 3M inside. 3M is a manufacturer, its all pretty much the same. _________________________ Scott M. Sheets Percussion Instructor PMA Sinfonia AX Formerly PNHSTech

Middle Age Man Registered: 06/26/01 Loc: Hewitt, NJ	I have not found another manufacturer's electrical tape that adheres better or is tougher than 3M's products. Most other brand's tape start sliding around after a few weeks. The 3M tape does not move once it is on. _________________________ The Cavaliers - Baritone 1993 Hawthorne Caballeros - Baritone 1988, Contra 1989-1995, Bass 6/5 1996-1998 Pequannock HS - Marching Instructor 1995 Saddle Brook HS - Percussion Instructor 1995 Lodi HS - Percussion Instructor 1996-2003

Bassn81 Registered: 07/01/04 Loc: Joliet, Il	Well, perhaps I have been lucky. I have used ACE Harware's branded tape without problems. I suppose it is possible that it is made by 3M, have to check that out. _________________________ Scott M. Sheets Percussion Instructor PMA Sinfonia AX Formerly PNHSTech

drummboy888 Registered: 02/06/05	3M white electric/plastic tape is my favorite, but any electric tape works really. I would not suggest using black, however, because in my experiences it tends to leave a nasty black residue when you re-tape the stick (or just take the tape off). It is quite disgusting. Plus the black tape sometimes leaves gunk on the rims when doing shots or rim work. That's my experience anyway. I hope I was helpful. _________________________ ---------------------------------------------------- CB West is the Best! Tenors 04-06
