Vic Firth Lite Stix Video
May 15, 2009 in Artists, Gear, Randomness by Carter
Interesting clip here. This shows a few guys demonstrating the visual effects seen when performing with Vic Firth’s LED Lite Stix. The sticks, which have a colored LED light on the beads, are a total gimmick, but some of these look cool. However… can anyone explain to me why Vinny Appice appears to be in a bathroom towards the end of the video?

Carter: I guessing the bathroom has no windows so when they turned out the light, it was totally dark, thus ‘enhancing’ the effect of the glow sticks. They are a total gimmick though, I agree. Who makes them again? Meinl was it?!
The trick is not finding and buying the sticks. The trick is not overcoming the smirks of other drummers when you use them. The trick is not even learning all the cool licks you can play with them as seen in this video.
The REAL trick is getting the father of the bride to turn out all the lights at your wedding gig so you can show them off!!!
it could be a good tool to study and analys your stoke in motion
