When I was stick shopping today I figured I'd try something other than my usual Vic Firth sticks. I liked the feel of these right away, and I only began to like them more when I got home and used them on my kit. I have a feeling I'm going to buy more of these in the future for sure.

You will never go back to your old sticks again! I have been playing with these sticks exclusively for over a year now. The weight and balance is perfect.

A few years back I picked up a pair of these sticks and let me say they are probably the best sticks I've used. I find them very well balanced, with good weight to them. I have been using them exclusively now for about two years.

Carter Beauford is amazing and so are these sticks. Thats all I have to say about that.

I am currently a drummer at the New England Conservatory in Boston, trained primaraly in jazz, and love to play anything from fusion and rock to latin and bluegrass. I have been a huge fan of Carter and hsi sound, and buoght this sticks more as a "souviener." I was inspired to try them on my set today, and was impressed; the sticks taper nicely, and have great control and balance. The bead is rather large, (and the sticks heavier than most jazz sticks) nonetheless, they bring out the rich, warm sound from your drums and cymbals carter is known for. They stand up descent to "abuse" and are a great value for their money.
