This is the best investment that you could make if you are a drummer. These sticks will last you longer than you can imagine. The only thing you will replace, several months after your purchase, is the acrylic covers and the tips. You can get these items cheaper than it costs for a new good pair of wood sticks. Just make the purchase you WILL NOT regret it!!!

These are by far the finest drum sticks I've ever held or seen. The tips have "trails" when you play in the dim light, as if they glow. Perfect weight balance, extremely durable and strong, cymbals sound better than I've ever heard them, and they are built with an aluminum core. These are absolutely perfect for my electronic drums, and I am certain that they will last forever, even if I use them on my acoustic set. SICK!!!!!!!!

These are terrible, broke 2 pairs, both at the butt end of the stick in the last 6 months. I had to replace the sleeves every week, and they make your toms sound dead. If you have ever done any marching you probably know what a "dead" stick is. This feels like a dead stick straight out of the box. The only reason I tried two pairs is because I go through wood sticks like crazy and thought this was better for my wallet but after 60 bucks on the sticks, $4 a week on sleeves, and the constant headache of the sound and feel, they are not worth it. Yeah they might feel good and last long on an electric kit but so do #2 pencils.

Also, just for reference, I play hard but I only play two times a week for about 4 hours a day at my church. It's not like I'm playing speed metal 7 days a week.
