Cobus Potgieter

The recording interfaces Cobus uses according to his site, are the Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL and the Presonuse Digimax D8.

I cannot quite put into words how it felt when I held my signature sticks in my hands for the first time.. unreal, for sure. This stick is absolutely exactly what I've always wanted, the length and shape and balance is what I have been searching for for years, and it feels incredible to finally have it in my hands. And although it has been in the works a few months, my Pro-Mark signature sticks are FINALLY available for you guys to check out :)

The stick is slightly thicker and longer than a regular 5B, with the balance point more to the front than the back. The reason for this is that I find myself not working nearly as hard anymore, I don't need to "push" the stick where I want it, I can just "throw" it around the kit and let it do the work, in stead of trying to make it do the work. It features an acorn tip, which means that natural body motion (which results in tilting the stick up and down) creates a wide dynamic range between notes, on the cymbals and on the drums. The rad thing about this is that I don't have to think about it: the design of the sticks works with the way the body already and naturally moves, producing dynamically different notes without ANY extra technique or concentration or changes. My signature sticks are 16.375 inches long, with a diameter of 0.595 inches.
