Best sticks that i'll stay with forever

About 2 months ago a buddy of mine told me to try these sticks and I have not bought a different pair since. I will only play with an sd9 driver. it is THE BEST STICK I use them for rock and metal and also jazz and swing. They are very good on snare response and tone and don't weigh all that much. I differently recommend these to anyone. Buy more than one pair today. p.s. they also last a little bit longer than other leading brands. They are the presidents of drum sticks.

Easy to break

Not going to lie the sticks feel great. that was the whole reason why i bought them but after playing with them for a week I have gone through 4 pairs. Buyers beware if you are a hard hitter these are not the sticks for you.

    I chose these for their lightweight and haven't looked back! Very durable for the weight and great for multiple bounce strokes.

  • The one and only pair of drumsticks for me :-)

    Still use these drumstick for over 30 years and still happy with it. For me these drumsticks have the perfect specs. Length, weight, balance, etc.

  • Years of use fantastic sticks

    General purpose drumsticks for all styles. Hit hard even with rimshots I've never broken one, but they are deft and articulate too. Extra reach much appreciated as is lightweight but decent thickness.

  • These sticks are among the best ive ever held.

    Not sure the actual weight of the stick but these fellas feel light and move as swift as the wind! Long with good reach and a perfect tip design/shape for getting your drums and cymbals to sing with a warm, full, balanced tone that still cuts through.

  • Great stick

    This is my go to stick. Good size without the weight. Maple has less vibration than hickory making them more comfortable on the wrists.

  • Using for years great stick
