...Bunken sticks? Quite a few pairs of 7A's were in an old trap case I bought.

Thanks.

Archie Bunkin sticks. Ha...Old reference but considering this is a Vintage forum you get a courtesy laugh on that. Anyone else?

Those were a fairly common brand up here in the N.E.in the 70's.A good friend of mine was using those when I was using Vic Firth Generals-talk about opposites!

Thanks. I never used 'em. From some reason they went under while VF is going strong. Maybe Firth bought 'em out.

I LOVE Bunken 7A's! I've used them for years and still have two pair in my stick bag. They're feather-light and perfect for soft jazz. The little pointy bead is great on a ride cymbal, but if you like the feel of a heavy stick in your hand, they're not for you.
