Today I was at my local music store and was looking at their giant wall of sticks. I tried different pairs of signature sticks but some felt too heavy or others felt too light. I like a stick that I can play fast with but not feel like I'm going to break the stick in 5 minutes. This stick combines a slim like design with a lot of power behind each hit. Perfect for live settings and recordings, when you want each hit to be heard, this is your stick. Truly a great stick and it's worth the price.

Terry Bozzio is one of my many favorites so I just had to get his stick, and I have not been disapointed with it yet. It's light to medium weight but the helmet tip gives a lot of power to the rimshots or just heavy accented notes.

I have used these sticks for 5 years and have been very impressed with the durability and superior performance. Light, well balanced yet strong enough to endure high speed, hard hitting playing gig after gig. Tip design brings brilliant sounds to the cymbals, my number 1 choice for live performance and recording.

I've never played with a stick that is so light or well balanced that can give me the speed and definition that I need for my style of playing. This is by far the best stick I've ever tried.

Most of my drumming takes place in church music teams and studio. In both situations I've found these sticks to be excellent, particularly in terms of the fuller sounds they produce on all my toms - especially useful when it is necessary for some worship songs to play at softer volumes. The sticks took some getting used to for their slightly longer reach, but I found them very comfortable to use. Unfortunately my local store ran out of them, so I found a Zildjian Super 5B to be similar although not quite as comfortable as the Phase 1.
