I've got a pair of 5B's and 5A's, when I first saw that Zildjian was making sticks, I was a little skeptical. But the price is great, they have a lot better grip than normal sticks, the nylon tips give great cymbal bite, and I could not be more pleased with them.

I used to drop my sticks all of the time. I would use Vic Firth and they'd break within a month of playing. I've been using the same pair of these for 8 months now and don't remember dropping them once. They're great, definitely worth the price.

I bought these sticks along with a a pair of vaters, just to see which are better. I decided that night that the vaters were so-so, and these were amazing. The rubber gets dented, but what stick doesn't???

you will never drop your sticks again! the grip is amazingly helpful because i duno about you but my hands get sweaty and my sticks used to slip all the time, but no more!

These drumsitcks are pretty useful. The dip deffinently helps me grip them. The only downfall is after a month or so of using them, the rubber will start to fall off.
