These drumsticks have some kind of special lacquer on them to keep them tough and it really works. I used to break drum sticks all the time but it took me a few weeks to get through these.

Well, I've always stuck with Vater and Vic Firth, but I saw an How It's Made episode showing the amazing quality that goes into the making of these sticks. Since I started useing these sticks my drums skills of 17 years have dramitcally improved!
