This review is from: Ahead Model Rick Allen Advanced Alloy Core Drum Sticks (Pair)

In case you were wondering, u do get two sticks. I got these for easter and they are amazing! The weight on them isnt too heavy or too light and the bounce on them is incredible. They kinda bounce back on there own. The sticks are longer than normal ones. When i'm playing on my kit with them, i dont have to reach as far anymore to hit one of the toms. I really recommend these sticks to someone who hates buying wooden ones every month or so from them breaking. These sticks will last alot longer than a normal pair of wooden sticks. Plus you can replace the tapers at the top which protect the stick from damage. If i was to guess, i would say that you probably dont have to worry at all about replacing anything on the sticks untill like 3-4 months after purchase. They sound great on cymbals too, they tend to bring out the sound more. If you ever have to replace the heads, DONT BUY THE REPLACEMENTS FROM AMAZON! Buy them from musicians friend. Also if you are iffy on getting the sticks, they do have a 60 day warranty on them. They are way worth the price they are.

Is this just one drumstick?
Rick Allen has only one arm,so I'm a bit puzzled as to the quantity if somebody were to purchase this product as pictured thinking that it might be a pair.
