Drumsticks used by Sean Kinney on Unplugged
Avg price: $27.24
Sean Kinney, drummer for Alice in Chains, confirms his use of Vater Acoustick Rods by stating, "The Acousticks are great. I used them when MTV still played videos, they had a show that was called 'Unplugged', and we did a gig, and I think these were new then, a prototype. I used them and they were great, they give a little more crack, and they don't fall apart as much, they are kinda between a wood dowel acoustic stick and a real stick."
