Me too, but not since the 90s I reckon.

Anyway, what should I do with this drum stick, any ideas?

36 times -_- Insanely jealous. I racked up my first and only last December. If only my parent's didn't shift the lot of us across the world away from wales when I was a nipper!

I like the 'get it autographed' idea.

Very random comment, could you give me the make and size of the stick? Should be written down the side.

Congrats on catching one - thats awesome!!

I was able to snag one from the stage tech at the end of the show here in Boston ... tis also my prized posession. I noticed the comments about getting it autographed ... I was curious if your stick was similar in the one I was lucky to grab ... when the guy handed it to me, he told my the sticks are "custom" for Sean ... "his signature is imprinted into the grip end of the stick under the sports tape". I decided at the time I didnt want to peel the tape back to look if that might be true or not, but over time the material of the tape has faded and is now almost transparent ... sure enough Sean's signature is on the stick etched into the wood.....

Thought I'd read somewhere he used custom sticks, I think Fergal from JJ72 used them as well. Would be interesting to know who they're made by and what size they are.
