This takes a bit of explanation. For my birthday, a very handy buddy of mind made me some light sticks that I desperately needed. He got a bunch of very thin pieces of wood from the local hardware shop and taped them tightly together, giving me two pairs of very unique sticks. They weren't quite brushes, but they were nice and quiet, which I needed, because I have always had trouble staying quiet while playing, especially while playing fast. Anyway, to the story.
I was in the middle of playing with my old group and playing a very, very, very fast song. My sticks were quite beat up, and as I was playing, I was literally watching them shred while desperately trying to keep playing with what I had left. One completely disintegrated so I played with the other stick and my hand. Then the other one shattered and I ruined the song by playing a hands-only drum solo and kicking over my kick. It was pretty sweet.
