My perfect stick

I've been playing for many years and tried all sorts of sticks. I find the AS7A to be the perfect balance between durability, articulation and playability. The round head gives a nice bright attack on cymbals, and the thicker neck with the short taper gives strength where other sticks (with a longer taper) have worn quicker. The wear of the stick tends to come from the tip chipping before the neck splits, which is how I prefer it, as you have some warning when to bin the pair and and get some new ones out. They are fairly stiff when first played, I used them for Prog Rock, Funk and Jazz. I expect the heavier hitters would go through these pretty quick, but there is a bigger AS5A which I am yet to try.

Bought for my 10 year old learning to play.

These sticks are solid with a good balanced feel. I am trying the round tip to compare with my other sticks , also they are well constructed. And old habit I have is to set the stick down flat an roll the stick to make sure it is true and straight these passed. When I started playing in the 70's I would go into a music store an roll 4 to 10 sticks to get two that were straight. Quality on sticks have greatly improved since then.

Great for my 12 year old small hands

When I first got a feel of these sticks, I instantly loved it. The grip was great, they were comfortable and gave the sticks a great bounce. My only issue was that they only lasted me about one practice and one live session. It literally broke in half in the middle of my playing and it sucked horribly because they really were a great pair of sticks. That is really the only thing I would change, is the duration. But they're great overall.
