I LOVE THEM !

These are the best. I like them better than the Zildian sticks. If you are like most drummers today that are playing relaxed; then these are for you! you can relax your grip and still feel like you have a good grip and control of the stick.

The best grip sticks out there

Standard all wood sticks will sometimes slip out of my hands from time to time. Not because I can't hold them but because I don't sweat much and so there is no much friction for the stick to stick to my hand.

I've tried standard grip add-ons. But the grips over time end up slipping down the stick and off of it.

But with the Vic Grips the grip is there to stay, it is not overly 'grippy', but there is enough grip so that you still obtain the movement with your fingers/hands but retain a nice grip on the sticks.

Highly....highly recommended for those who have issues holding on to sticks. They definately will help you a lot!!!

This product is totally awesome, the grip is red and made of eco-friendly material. If you're at a gig you won't have to worrk about dropping this stick, the grip is amazing. I got these sticks about 4 months ago and they are the best sticks i've used in a long time!

This grip does not work

If you're looking for a good grip, this is not the stick you want. I have a big problem with sticks slipping when I play for a while.. I normally buy Vater grip tape which works great, but decided to give these a try just to see if the grip works... IT DOESN'T... They were actually more slippery than just wood by itself. Look elsewhere if you need a better grip and don't waste money on these.
