These sticks are great, I use then for an electric system but because my hands sweat when I play normal sticks go flying from grip. These sticks stay put and I would reccomend them to anyone who plays fast and has trouble holding onto the drumsticks.

I've tried a lot of sticks - and have even made my own - but this is my favorite. I don't like to squeeze sticks too hard and as a result I loose sticks all the time. I'm lucky I haven't put an eye out the way they go flying sometimes.

I don't like gloves, hand stuff or tape. I have tried coating from the hardware store (the type you dip tool handles into) but it eventually rubs off. I have had some success with roughing the sticks with really coarse sandpaper, but that leads to blisters. With these DIP sticks I can move my grip to a balanced spot on the stick and after a 5-6 minute song - it is still there. Using a matched grip, I like to balance my left stick on my pointy-finger and 'tiggle' it with my thumb to make a light roll. I can only do this with the DIP. With plain sticks my thumb just pushes them away. I also like to drop quickly to the bottom of the sticks for hard tom rolls. Without the DIP the stick just flies off into lala land.

Every drummer will have their own personal relationship with their sticks. And I can play with other sticks without killing anyone. But I do like these sticks...

These are lightweight, great rubber coating on them so they stay in your hands while playing. I have not dropped one yet! They are also lightweight, so they are not as likely to damage my mesh heads on my electronic drums. Bought two sets!

if you are buying sticks buy these!!! they feel great when playing and are very sturdy. will last a long time.

My son is a rock drummer and now swears by these sticks. They stand up to long hours of abuse and the black paint gives him better grip. He said these sticks out perform his other high cost sticks. He currently plays for two bands and practices 20 hours per week.

Not much to say, great lightweight (as a 7A should) drumsticks. Deliver a nice soft sound. Black coating helps a lot getting better grip.

I bought these sticks and love them. They are balanced, straight, good quality and the tips really give me the sound I was wanting. Much better than my cheap ones. Worth the price.

That is pretty much the deal. They are lightweight, durable (been using the same set for around three months now, with not much in the way of wear and tear outside of a few small dents, which are unavoidable with sticks), dont slide out of your hands due to the grip, and are great for my electronic drum set. Not sure how they would play on a regular kit, but for the electronic kit, they are perfect.
Also, they are pretty inexpensive.

These sticks are awesome. The weight is perfect and the grip allows for optimum control when drumming. I recommend them.

I have been using Vic Firth 7AN and have loved them. But i wanted to give the Zildjian's a shot and i am really loving them. The nylon dip is so grippy. I may not use anything else now
