Sturdy, has nice grip, easy to use. I can always count on this store to have what I need. Fast free ship to store feature made it even easier to pick up my gear. These sticks are fun to use even when not drumming, I can't wait to buy a few more since they're good in price. Thank you guitar center for always booking me up with good deals.

Basically, the same sticks as the 5AN classics from Vick Firth. They don't have as thick a lacquered finish but to reduce cost they work well. I have yet to find "Wobblers" like you would find with ProMark at twice the price.

These are blemished Vic Firth sticks, but In Perfect shape. If you go through a lot of sticks, get these. They aren't bent, or some other malfunction, just a little odd looking and hard to pair for the maximum price. So save yourself some money and get these. They're just like your other super pretty Vic Firths, but cost less. Still the high quality stick.

My first time using 5B sticks as I needed more diameter in stick to hold/control better after 6 hand surgeries The tama nylon washers are on all my 9 piece kit top/bottom and I use moongels only on snare drum, very happy.

I ordered the drum sticks on line to deliver to the store. The sticks arrived early and I received text notification they arrived. The sticks look and feel good. The nylon heads to the drum sticks had a small edge in the head from the mold. I sanded the seam off with some fine sandpaper.
