its ok. it peeves me that the white paint on the stick wears off on my cymbels. they haven't broken yet, the balance is ok, the grip is fair (but not good) overall, it is OK.

The picture shows white drum sticks--I received unfinished-brown sticks..

I could've carved these myself froma tree limb.

mis-advertised

Travis Barker, drummer for Blink-182, Box Car Racer, and Transplants is an awesome drummer and these drumsticks live up to his name. The tip is unigue and the stick has great performance only the white paint tends to get on your drumset sometimes and the Travis Barker and Zildjian logos fade. Still, these are great and not too expensive!

Fairly good sticks, would have given them a five but the white paint wears off on the cymbals so i went with a 4. Other than that though there are no real problems with these sticks.

the thing with these sticks, youve got to be patient with them. they will mark up on your cymbals and you will be frusterated....i was lucky because i had a first act cymbal that all of the paint went on. i got new cymbals and the drumsticks lost all of their paint with my previous cymbal so it ended up great. the sticks do get shredded but i play real hard and i break sticks at least once a month. these sticks have been going good for me for at least 5 months. when i break some sticks, i play with these until i get replacements. they dont chip or splinter like all the others i use. extremely good endurance, pretty good handling, the only negative part is that the white paint will get on your cymbals so if you can manage to get the paint off then these will be fantastic. if you get these sticks to look good then youll be dissapointed, these are sweet looking sticks but the paint will fade away because these wont break very soon. these are also pretty heavy, not recommended for jazz drumming

I thought these would be better quality. My son is 15 and has been playing drums for a few years now. These sticks didn't last but a few months before they started looking like they had been used for years.

I like the balance and the weight in these sticks for sure. The bead tip is sweet for rebound and they last a decently long time. I'd use this stick for all my general playing, but the paint-coming-off-on-the-cymbals issue is enough for me to stop using these.

Purchased these for my son who is started to take Drum lessons (his 2nd instrument). He loves the color and has had to share them with his classmates so they can play with them!

They are cheap, you beat on things, they make noise. I'm no Neil Peart so I may not know all the drumstick nuances, but they're fine and kids think that they look neat. whaddaya gonna do?

Bought these sticks because I am a big fan of Travis, but after playing only 1 show with them, one of the sticks became warped. It has a slight but significant curve to it now. I was very disappointed with this.
