You honestly can't get any better stick than this. Ive used just about every stick from just about every brand. Ive used standard sticks to ones made for me and these kick the mess out of all of them. Light and quick but you can still get a lot of power and finesse out of the sticks. Plus they have Mike Portnoys name on them. Buy them. You can go wrong.

I've been using 5b sticks for years but then discovered promarks 747 rock stick and liked them alot. After reading the reviews I decided to give the mike portoy sticks a try. I was kinda sceptical being small but to my surprise, these sticks have the perfect, balanced feel and bounce that helps with techical playing styles as well as laying power grooves. Dont let the size fool ya, these sticks rock! simply the best sticks I've ever played with.

These sticks are the lightest sticks I've ever held, yet they are so strong. When I first got them, I was scared to hit hard. Not anymore!

Picked these up on a whim for Christmas. I have tried many different pairs of sticks from both Vic Firth and Pro-Mark, and these are among the top. Everything with sticks comes down to personal preference, but for me, the weight, length, and diameter of these is just perfect. For high-speed eighth and sixteenth note patterns, these are terrific, allowing you to really lay down a beat without your thumb and wrist getting tired. Try these - I guarantee you'll like them.

My playing experience has been almost exclusively with Pro Mark sticks and I've tried several models. I played with the 747s for quite a while until I tried the Mike Portnoy signatue sticks. Now, after 2 years of using them, I believe I've found the Perfect Stick for my playing style. Not too heavy, not too light, great balance and the nylon tip really makes the cymbal bell ring. Hats off Mike and Pro Mark.
