Jack Aubrey Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) OK, we all like to post about what we believe to be the coolest instruments and gear. Now how about the worst? Here's my pick: Power Stix. What's yours? I understand that there may be folks out there who think that this is a cool product, if you are under eighteen years old or were dropped a lot as an infant, then that's perfectly understandable.

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 No, it doesn't get cheesier than the MUSICPOLE. Just what we needed, a Casio on a stick. And could they have picked a worse name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Aubrey Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 We have a new contender! If you are a drummer and your stick throwing is so bad that you need a device to help you throw them, then DON'T FRIGGIN' THROW YOUR STICKS! Behold the lameness that is Stick Flip.

They contacted me once asking if I wanted to endorse them. My response to them was "No thanks. I get enough use out of twirling and flipping my sticks with my hand, so I don't need your pointless product." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PW_Guitarist Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Years ago I saw an ad in the back pages of guitar player for a device that allowed you to spin your guitar like ZZ Top did in one of their videos (was it "Legs" or "Sharp Dressed Man"?). It was some sort of rotating device with one side bolted to the back of your guitar and the other attached to your belt. I would love to know how many they sold...

GeddyRulz Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Mr. Microphone. A recorder. A circa-1980s handheld Casio keyboard, which can't play chords, only notes. Any student guitar or bass made by Cort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushfanNlv Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) While this one is not an instrument, I've always though that this thing was a joke. I mean, I understand the concept but how is it supposed to really help? Just play guitar! That thing will probably condition your fingers for endurance but not in the right way. You need to be able to hold chords tight. There is nothing to help with that but practice. Edited June 11, 2007 by rushfanNlv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PW_Guitarist Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I was once at a drum clinic given by Paul DeLong (former drummer for Kim Mitchell on "Akimbo Alogo") and someone asked the question: "I heard squeezing a tennis ball can help build stength in your hand for drumming. Does this work?". Paul's reply was priceless: "Well, I think squeezing a tennis ball will make you good at squeezing tennis balls. If you want to build strength, just play more drums!". I think the same would apply here. I have been seeing that gizmo for years and also questioned it usefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says that it doubled the strength in his first three fingers and tripled the strength in his pinky. To each their own, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KublaKhan Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have a pair of Power Stix. I dont even remeber why I bought them, the flashy lights drew me in. Heres the cheesiest non-existant product ive ever seen: Does anyone remember and his patented Gorilla Grip? Buck is wearing the same Styx shirt I have. http://i13.tinypic.com/6gt7qrs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
