Any drummer, no matter what kind will love these sticks.
I have used them everywhere from concert snare solos to marching as quad sticks. They feature a unique tip that helps for better rebound, and a white overcoat. The best thing that I can say about these sticks is that they are extremely durable!! I have had 7 or 8 pairs, and I have only broken 1 or 2 the rest just got so splintery and crappy looking that I had to replace them.

If your truly into drumming, check out a pair, you will NOT be sorry!

I have been drumming for a long time and these are the best sticks I have ever used. I do not know if it is Buddy's spirit in them or just that they are another fine product from Vic Firth. But I do know that the feel, balance, bounce, and weight of these sticks provide a real sweet spot in my drumming that is missing when I play with other sticks.

I played mainly with my first pair of these until they were a bit worn and then left them alone for a time. When I picked them back up, I rediscovered a level of agility and precision that had been absent from my playing with the other sticks in my bag. Groovy.

i have a set and these sticks are really great. they look amazing too.. although i have had them for 6 months and they are starting to look a little shabby... but id say they are worth a little extra money, even for a beginner

Except when I have to play super, super quiet (for that I use the Peter Erskine ride sticks), these are the only thing I'll play. There's something about the weighting that makes them more responsive than other sticks, and the tip shape seems to sound great no matter what you're playing. The 'shoulder' of the stick, right where it meets the head, is tapered less and also is more gradual coming into the head itself, meaning that there's a slightly higher percentage of the stick weight up toward the head of the stick. I can't really say it better than they feel fast and precise. I even carry some in my car at all times just in case!
