I've used many different style sticks over the last 45 plus yrs of playing but these have a great feel, consistantly good balance and weight and just the length I want when reaching. The tips do wear out, but all wood tips eventually do, so not an issue for me. I don't use them for playing harder with blues or rock but for everything else I do, they're perfect.

I got a pair from my brother and I was impressed with the speed at which I could play at using these as compared to my 5A's, They also have a good solid sound not light at all. The only thing is they splinter instead of just shave down.

These are the only sticks I have and the only sticks I will ever buy. They are so light but so strong! I have had the same pair of sticks for 2 years and they are still intact. I highly recommend these sticks for your drumming needs!

These are some of the best sticks I've ever had. These are great for anything in volume from low to decently loud. They are light but have excellent balance and feel. They have a great articulate sound too with the nice tone of maple. I use these and recommend them for rock and roll, swing, bop, funk, latin, blues, etc. These are feel good sticks for feel good music.

this sticks never let you down. constant perfection. they don't break even on old die cast rims from the 60's. best thing you can buy.
