Hello Unkind and welcome in Wall of Mouth.

I’m going to answer that what you asked us. Fyfe used to play with a Sonor drum kit, a Zildjian cymbals kit and a Pro-Mark drum sticks kit but I don’t know which one in particular. Hope to have helped you in your request.
Keep being about T? in here.

Fyfe had his own ‘autograph’ drumsticks made by Pro-Mark , almost sure it was the hickory Millennium II type ones.

Used to have a pair in mint condition and original wrapping but parted with it to fill the nerd box of one of the forum dwellers here who shall remain unnamed ;)

yes, I see them, we are almost there, all I need is to see what particular model are they, f.e. 5A, 5B, 7B or something else, you know what I mean? cause there are different millennium II models

Yeah, I’ll check them when I go home and release them from their nerdbox prison ;)
Just from looking at the picture, they look like 5B’s (much thicker than A’s towards the tip).

Why Fyfe’s drum kit model is so important for you ?

Not the kit anymore, only sticks. I’ve read about the kit before. I’m into the drum stuff generally and I must say, ‘live at Brixton Academy 1994’ had huge impact me when I first saw it, and that’s it.

Neil uses Vic Firth? The other one is Fyfe’s then, it doesn’t have any markings or owt on it though which I guess doesn’t help Unkind.

Yes, Neil uses Vic Firth. I don’t know about the one with the plastic knob, the one I’ve got from Fyfe is like the one pictured by Cuchulain, but it’s possible he used others before those custom printed sticks.
