My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/11/2007
Band Website: stick.com
Band Members: The Stick community is made up of thousands of musicians worldwide, all pursuing their own musical vision on Emmett Chapman's amazing instrument, The Chapman Stick®.

The Stick is a two-handed tapping instrument based on Emmett's revolutionary "Free Hands" parallel two-handed tapping method, which allows musicians to play bass, chords, melody and all of the interplay possible between them at one time.

Emmett first discovered this way of playing guitar in 1969. Since that time his company, Stick Enterprises, has made almost 6000 instruments which have found their way to every corner of the globe and into every genre of music.

The Stick is a blank slate upon which you can tap your potential!
