  • Nice size between 5A and 5B
Style: Wood Tip
Love the sticks size , great stuff, I like the Vic Firth 55A a little bit more for the size between 5A and 5B but I recommend both. I only like those a little more bc of the finish of the wood.

  • A little unnecessary
Style: Wood Tip
Just a comment to the seller... Your price is awesome!!! However, it is completely unnecessary and a little frustrating to have the drumsticks taped to the cardboard sleeve, provided by the manufacturer. If I didn't take the sticks out of the sleeve before I put them into my stick bag and needed to grab a stick, quickly while performing, the tape would prove to be a real problem!! ... show more

  • Worth the price
Style: Wood Tip
Very much so satisfy with sticks. Very straight grain for long using. They reach the zit on middle at my back so well. Perfect feel to popping. No more hopelessness from zit pain. Also great at ballance.

  • Great sticks
Style: Wood Tip
I like 5A sticks and usually went with the Vic Firth American Hickory 5As. That's a nice, classic pair but after the first hour of use I was constantly chipping pieces off the tips and thus blowing through sticks. I play rock and funk mostly, can go ape on the set from time to time so opportunities to chip / break are frequent. That is important to know for my review so if you are the same, you feel confident in trying them. Had a pair of Vader 7As when I was younger and liked them so figured I'd try my preferred stick size these days with Vater and got these. Awesome experience so far, maybe 4+ hours of use and there is not a single chip in either tip. Expected wear elsewhere on the stick, no signs of splintering, etc. Sticks are comfortable in hands, good weight... These will now be my go to pair. Check them out! ... show more

  • Good sticks, a little delicate for my taste
Style: Wood Tip
A good pair of sticks, well balanced and crafted. They produce a nice tone as well. My only complaint is that they break fairly easily. One of mine broke within a few weeks of purchase (although I do drum a bit heavy at times, so this is partially my own fault). Durability issues aside, they serve as great concert sticks β€” just make sure to get a thicker pair for other types of drumming. ... show more
