there great i play punk music and there perfect people say the extra weight slows you down but it dnt and the mallet keeps them from slippin out of your hand they're great

I really don't like Travis Barker anymore because he gets so much more credit than he deserves. Saying that, the only reason I ever even picked up these sticks was because my friend had them and I was playing at his house. I fell in love with them immediately. Some say they don't like how it feels, but I enjoy it. Makes sure the stick doesn't slip too much. And grabbing the larger end helps to open your hand in case of cramps. But I wouldn't spend this much on sticks. I just took a pair of Vic Firth sticks and glued the biggest cymbal felts I could find to them. Then I put some glue on the outside of the felts for added strength and stiffness. They probably don't work quite as well, but they're still great.

there a pretty cool idea but i dont like the way it feels when i play with them on the wood tip, the mallet gets a bit in the way of my hands, and you dont get much speed from them cause the mallets weigh them down and dont allow to bounce as much either

Good for cymbal rolls at the beginning and end of songs, because they are really easy to flip. Nothing wrong with having two sticks in one!!! I'm really glad that mine have not broken yet, and I keep them around at all times... who knows when I might need them!

This really helped me add sounds on my cymbal rolls on the set. These last pretty long, but don't expect the signature to last a long time. If you want light and fast-moving sticks, these are NOT for you. The mallet adds an extra weight, and it might get a little comfortable in the beginning, but I got used to it anyways.
