These sticks were designed for heavy metal players who hit really hard, and use alot of power. If you're not the heavy hitting drummer, and you play not so hard e.g jazz, pop, funk...these are NOT for you! They are as heavy as oak 5b sticks, approximately. By the ways I recommend buying the Ahead drummers gloves, and grip tape. With the combination of both you can't go wrong, trust me. Try it out yourself. I use 'em and I have no problem what so ever. I hope you find this helpfull and have fun with your new Ahead sticks. Peace out.

Great product! I read a lot of customer reviews on these before I bought them. These are great though. I was a little worried cuz they were kinda high in price but they are worth it.

I purchased these sticks back in January. I had already tried the tommy lee signature model, but i wanted something lighter. Much lighter. Anyway, they have a great rebound and they DO last much longer. The only thing I don't really like is the grip area. If you tend to sweat, they'll fall off your hand. So it's highly recommended to get some grip tape.
All in all, these are the best drumsticks I've ever tried. They last very long and they can hit hard without much effort. Totally recommended.

I thought there would be a long adjustment period, but I fell in love with the sticks as soon as I started to use them. They are a bit heavier than hickory and have a lot more bounce, but I will never go back to using wood. They are just pure fun

The idea of unbreakable sticks sounded cool at first, but i quickly went back to wood after using these for a while, for several reasons. These tor up my hands badly, and are heavy. They also don't have the feel and response of wood sticks. The tips broke off after a week, and it is hard to find replacement tips at a reasonable price. I would not recommend these to anybody!
