Hey Everyone!
Help, Any recommendation for concert snare drumsticks?
Prefer a focused and warm sound.

A warm sound will be achieved by the tuning of the head. The tuning will also help with a focused sound as well. The beads of the stick are going to be the biggest concern to get the most focus. I prefer a barrel/ball style bead. My go to stick for kids is the Innovative Percussion IP-LD. This will give a "longer/wider" tone.

You can also use an acorn/teardrop shopped bead which will be a more "focused" sound. The sticks I like here are the Innovative Percussion IP-JC, IP-CL1, or the Cooperman Mike Rosen.

A lot of the sound starts with the tuning of the top and bottom head.

some of those light up colored sticks could give you the "warm" sound you are looking for. Green or purple for warm and red for a brighter sound.

Vic Firth SD1 General is a good start. I tried the Davila, didn't care for them.

Check out the Vic Firth comparison charts. There is alot out there.
