I used to break alot of sticks when I was younger. I had a lot of energy and needed to get it out. At that time my band mates were also much younger so they had their amps up as loud as they could get them, with or without ears bleeding. That made it so I had to play so much louder and harder just to be heard in all that mess. Since than I have learned the art of dynamics and control. This has lead to thinner sticks and little to no breakage. I will still get a broken stick every now and then, but only when I am really rockin out hard on an awesome song.
