The Steve Smith Tala Wands were conceived when Steve began playing with drummers from India and needed a way to blend with their sounds and be sensitive to lower volume levels. Other bundles worked as far as volume was concerned but they lacked the rebound he preferred. As a result, Steve helped develop two unique and tremendous tools now among the Vic Firth line of Rute and brushes:

I love the bamboo model. Playing in a contemporary worship setting, the tala wand allows for a lot of dynamic range. As with most churches, drum volume is a pretty hot potato, so these allow me to play with a fair amount of input and still maintain a reasonable stage voulme. They last longer than most birch bundles, which is a pretty big deal as far as replacement goes. I've played the bamboo tala wand pretty much full time, even gigging, because they just feel so good in the hand. You can always mic it up if you need to get more volume. It would be a real shame if they are discontinued.
I just recently discovered these, and I wish I had done so much earlier. I have the birch, and not only do they quiet down your playing when you need it, but they sound great. I have heard these being played on some CDs that I have, and I had always wondered how they were producing that soft, warm sound, because I knew they weren't brushes or sticks, and now I know. I plan to check out the bamboo wands soon.
I love using these sticks! I got the birch. They're nice and they make my drums quieter and I won't disturb the neighbors! Now I can play later at night! But they can break easily, like the tiny sticks on the top. But overall they're AWESOME!!!
