I bought a six pack of these a month ago and am down to 2 left the heads on these have a tendency to start to fall apart and they tend to break fairly easily. I would spend the extra money and buy some better ones.

These sticks are actually a pretty good value. I ordered 7a's which is what a play with and they were about half an inch or so longer than a 7a which are the "slight cosmetic blemishes" the product description speaks of. It wasn't bad once i got used to it. They're not incredibly durable but they're not bad, a pair would last me 1-3 months. I don't think I would buy them again just for the simple fact that i don't like pulse but if you don't mind what brand your playing i would recomend them. also, i got wood tips, i don't know for sure but i'd say pulse nylon tips would come off very quickly.

i got a pair from my friend with claims that they were "fricken indestructable" but unfortunately he gave me the "rock" model sticks and their too large, and too heavy, so they feel sluggish and fly out of my hands when not in a death grip.

Got these about 3 weeks ago and i'm still on the first pair. They're lite and pretty tough. I don't hit really hard myself so that may be why it's lasted so long. For the price you can't go wrong.

I got these drumsticks and I expected to break one the first 10 minutes or so, but that didn't happen. I hadn't broken any of my 5A sticks I bought and I've been playing continuously for hours. These drumsticks worked out pretty good for me.
