The reason I suggest bass is that, if your goal is stick, bass will help you to develop the agility in (and callouses on) both hands that will give you a start on stick. Also, the two stick players I know of are both bassists first and stick players second. One is Tony Levin, and the other is a Fraternity brother of mine, Greg Howard (a Charlottesville fixture. Sometimes played with the Tim Reynolds Band.) Both these guys are virtuoso bassists, Tony just has the drive and the luck to know Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp.
