I just got my pair of these a day ago and used them on a gig today. I was worried having never seen a pair of these in person before I ordered them, but these surprised me. They are thin, but not too much to not get a good hold on them. They have enough weight to them to bounce and the small tips allow for ease of soft playing although you really could get some loud dynamics out of these too. Great pair of sticks, get some if you ever play acoustic gigs...

I've been using the Sweet Rides for a few years now and love them. I have a large kit so the length is great for getting around, but the real quality of this stick is the tip--very small, and the taper isn't too thin. Similar feel to a 7A. Most small-tips are on the ends of very thin tapers and they can snap right off--but not so with these! They've lasted for years! Excellent definition on cymbals, very fast, defined rolls and ghost notes, great little bounce as well. They're very light sticks, very quick and elegant--I wouldn't use these for heavy drumming or for novice players who lack control, but if you have good control and a quick response, these sticks will bring out your abilities.
