These were rated #1 by one of the drum magazines a while ago, so I decided to try them since they're also a really good value. The good: They're nice and round. The bad: the weights vary considerably. Over the three pairs, mine ran anywhere from 46-65 grams. At least I bought three pairs, so I was able to re-build the pairs into three sets that are close enough to work. But the 46 and 65 were originally paired together, and they feel vastly different from each other.

Con la punta rivestita in plastica, anche se la sensazione al battito è ovviamente differente da bacchette con punte in legno, ho risolto il problema della scheggiatura delle punte che mi costringeva a frequenti sostituzioni delle stesse.

Use many sticks over the years and they usually break the tips off or the plastic falls off these sticks last very well. I’ve played 5 to 6 shows with one pair will continue to buy.

I keep these around to make sure my kids always have concert sticks of their own for practices or for when someone wants to play the drum kit when they come over. Zero complaints so far.

It felt comfortable while playing. All three pairs have different weight. Excellent for edrums with mesh heads..

I use 5B sticks when I play rock or whenever I have to cut through the mix. I also use them on my practice pad. The heavier weight improves hand speed by giving your hand and arm muscles a workout. Then when I play live using my 7A sticks my hands just fly around the kit. These sticks are high quality and well balanced. The fulcrum point is matched on both sticks. I highly recommend these sticks.

First of all, I'm a pro drummer and sound engineer. I work 6-7 shows a week.I've had all kinds of sticks, but hadn't bought some in awhile. I play with a very laidback grip, all the way to the back; studied Weckl's Evolution DVD as well Todd Sucherman's extensively regarding the use of rebound, plus many years of military rudimental technique. Studied in college, went to several clinics, the whole shebang... you get it.Quite simply put, those are the best sticks I have ever tried for how my hands have developed after 20 years and how I play now - which is different for everyone of course. "LA special" is a GREAT name :Those are made for a laid-back, LA backbeat type of technique. There is a LOT of rebound, more so than just about other stick I ever tried in my life, so if you use Moeller technique at all (picking up with the wrist up motion between every hit), those are NOT for you.However, if you grip way back on 'em sticks and hit hard and solidly whip your snare every 2's and 4's, they are for you.Those are 5B's, which should fit most drummers. In my experience, diameter is overrated. Anyone with human-sized fingers can play from 7A to a little above that. Balance point - which on those sticks, is lower than most - is most important for where you grip (just below it is ideal, but not more than twice your grip fingers width I'd reckon). This is perfect for me.They are light medium-ish in weight; I haven't weighed them. I guess it's on the specs.I hit drums with those things. I don't care that the finish isn't even. The logo is looking really good.Most importantly tho, they *sound* really good. Real hardwood, harder than most. Give me an almost nylon tip sound in my cymbal - I finally get THE ride sound I always coveted. Very very crispm, brighten up a dark cymbal, helps cutting through a rock band if you have jazz cymbals because you're a snob like me.On top of ALL that, they cost like one third of any other pair or something.No more worrying about running out of sticks.The only thing I don't like is the absence of Promark logo. Those are EXCELLENT sticks.They should be proud.

The first one out of the box took a single hit on the snare before it split. The second one broke after maybe a couple day session. They feel good, but they do break easily.

Mijn volledig houten stokken braken nog wel eens af, met deze stokken is dat verleden tijd. De kunststof koppen zijn stevig en slijten niet, de stokken zelf zijn ook van hele stevige kwaliteit!
