I've seen comments around this reddit that regular drum sticks are damaging to arcade machines. I have a pair of Vic Firth Chop Outs that I use while warming up as a percussionist. They have rubber tips so that they can be used against any flat/hard surface. Am I correct that sticks like these shouldn't damage the machine?
