It was just a thought. But the Stick doesn't have to be all tippy-tappy - I know as I don't use it that way. In fact, I really don't like all that mechanical polyrhythmic style-over-substance stuff that touch-style has, unfortunately, become popularly known for. At the same time, I would have thought any ribbing (really?) would soon be replaced by kudos for finding a way to keep on keeping on, but you know your band and mates better than I do...
Anyways, genuinely, good luck in whatever you end up doing... Being deaf never stopped Beethoven so I'm sure you'll find a way.
