  • Excellent
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
These are some of the coolest stick inventions ever. So many different ways to hit cymbals and drums. A bit heavier than brushes, and the teardrop shape of the braids at the end create all sorts of interesting sounds on cymbals. Experiment you must, young Jedi. Strong is the Force within these.

  • LOUD! If you want to add another level of volume with brushes, these are it!
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
These added the sound I was missing. Whether these are right for you depends on your ears. These are loud compared to regular brushes. There is a noticeable "Clack" and the "Swish" is also very loud. These fit in with louder bands or styles. Or you can use them on more textured heads like bongos to get another sound out of the drums. I have regular wire brushes from Vater, Cajon brushes from Vater, Live Wires from Vic Firth, and Broomsticks from Pro Mark. These Dreadlocks are on the loudest end of my brush spectrum. They are louder than my live wires, but don't get hung up on my metal percussion pieces like my Engelhart Reco Reco or Meinl Turbo Crasher. ... show more

  • Super sound and concept
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
I love the Dreadlocks as they are extremely versatile in all that they can do. They are like regular drum brushes on steroids! A must have in any stick bag. Check out Jojo's YouTube videos on dreadlocks to get more ideas in how to incorporate them into your drumming.

  • Will take the abuse!
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
about five years ago I bought these thinking they would be cool for my Washboard I'm beyond happy with them. But after five years of thrashing the dreads I thought I would buy a second set even though the first pair still useable. I mean I have really put them to the test. Durable. Expensive but worth it to me my first pair cost me 23$ ... show more

  • They project much better then regular brushes
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
Well made. Very unique sound. I use them in an orchestral circumstance when brushes are needed. In a large orchestral situation if the piece calls for quarter notes on a ride cymbal with a brush, I use these. They project much better then regular brushes. I haven't had an opportunity to use them other wise. ... show more

  • Great idea, but doesn't fit the music i do
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
Saw some videos of these with Jojo Mayer doing drum & bass licks, great. He makes it look easy, it's not. Not so great for the genre I play either, a little t0o hard sounding. But for other styles or players, they should be fine. Very well built and tough, loud. I'd recommend for heavier hitting styles. ... show more

  • I need theese for washboard
Style: Dreadlocks Pattern Name: Single
I used these professionally for a long time. I use them hard, and have to change quite often. For me it would be more convenient to pick up things at my post office, than having to be home and get.
