Nirvana - Dave Groh's drum sticks

Expert: Jennifer Hollman - 10/29/2009

Question
Hi Jennifer,

I have been Googling like crazy trying to determine what kind drum sticks Dave used in his Nirvana days--Any ideas about this?

I heard he used Tama drums, Zildjian cymbals and Aquarian heads but can you confirm this?

Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Answer
Hello Andrew,

Dave used Aquarian Power-Sleeve 2B sticks that he held upside-down. This was confirmed by Barrett Jones the drum technician for NIRVANA.

You are correct about the Drums, Cymbals, and Heads.

He also had a DW 5000 Turbo pedal in his kit.

Jennifer
