Product Description
Color: Red
Tired of the original wooden, small diameter drum stick. Here is your perfect alternative. The whole body of this drum stick will light up in flame red or electric blue when striked on any surface, giving you a dramatic light show when playing drummer in Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Now who said drummer is always sitting behind the scene!! Comes in two beautiful colors: flame red and electric blue.

Color Name:Blue
Fun:
The drum sticks are comfortable, but heavier than the stock Rock Bank wooden drum sticks (not that I mind that). Inserting the batteries however turned out to be a miserable experience. The instructions say to just insert two batteries in the drum stick ends. What they don't tell you is that there is a thin metal ribbon that runs the length of the battery compartment that needs to wrap around the batteries. If you just shove in the batteries (the way you would expect), the metal ribbon gets crammed into the lighting mechanism and breaks. A neat gimmick but the quality of these sticks is not very good.

Color Name:Red
Fun:
Three words: DO NOT BUY. The day I received these drumsticks I drummed three songs with them, and one drumstick is already not functioning properly. The sticks have an LED that glows for about 3 seconds every time they strike something, but one of my sticks now flashes for only a split second. Broken after three songs? Not good.
This is not the only problem I've had with these drumsticks. Each stick is made of two pieces that are screwed together: the base that holds the LED and batteries, and the clear tip that enhances the LED's glow. As I was drumming along, the two pieces would gradually unscrew and I'd have to tighten it maybe every other song, if not every song. This is pretty annoying because it causes the drumsticks to rattle back and forth as you're playing. Overall the sticks have a really cheap feel to them. I get the feeling that if I were to drum really hard that a stick may snap in half.
These sticks are thick and pretty heavy too, especially compared to the stock wooden sticks. I would not recommend anyone buying these sticks unless you want to frustrate yourself while drumming. It's fun to see these drumsticks light up when you play with them, but they are poor quality and not worth the price. I will be returning mine.

Fun:
These sticks are a fun little addition to the rockband setup - When you strike with the stick the lights glow then fade with each strike, so it gives a nice interactive light show when playing drums. They arent overly bright so they dont distract from the game, but they are bright enough to notice.
Unlike the previous reviewer, I didnt have an issue installing the batteries - it came with a clear instruction sheet that shows you have to insert them between the metal clips inside the stick tube.
The overall construction seems decent, but they dont feel indestructible either - I'd be wary of striking with extreme force. They are certainly solid enough for normal aggressive play though, and they are a tad bit heavier than the standard sticks - something to note if you get tired quickly playing the drums.
For $20 this is definitely a luxury item and not a necessity, but if you are really into Rock Band or drumming in general, these are a fun purchase.

Decent, wish they were more durable
I am a major geek for things that light up - and these were perfect, since they went with our awesome Rock Band game. Read more

No good
I bought this as a Christmas present and couldn't even get the batteries in. Then after hitting them together twice one broke.

Junk
These are drum sticks. So, one would assume that they are built to take somewhat of a beating. The first time they were used, they both broke! Read more

The sticks are VERY poorly made.
The very first day i used these, the lights started to fliker instead of smoothly turning off and on. The battery system is terrible. Read more

Pretty - but flawed
I will not bother to reprise all bad points that are in the reviews here, I will just say that they are pretty when you get them working. Read more

Too noisy, OK overall
I found the light effect less impressive than I thought it was going to be, but it's still fun to watch it go off when you hit it and fade away after a couple of seconds. Read more

don't waste your money
These sticks are junk. Do not buy. The battery compartment is poorly designed and if you aren't really careful your sticks will be broken before you ever get to play with them. Read more
