I played these a few years back and liked them a lot. Lately I use ProMark 747 and Shira Kashi Oak, but decided to try out the "old" Tama sticks. Still very good, I like them for their feel and sturdiness.

Tama 5A-F Oak Japanese
Drumming Dutchman 24.09.2017
I'm a beginner: playing drums less than 3 years.
Tried before: Promark, VicFirth, Agner.
First of all: the sticks feel lighter and thinner compared with 5A's of above brands.
Second of all: the wood seems much harder, very dense. I can feel the vibrations returning, especially from the ride (this could be due to my poor drum technique).
Positive is: the sticks last longer compared with the above brands.
Also the tip is much bigger: I like this a lot.
The balance seems great.
Negative: although the wood is very dense, it seems the sticks are a bit light for a 5A. I'm playing Rock (coverbands) and the sticks seem a bit light for some of the heavier stuff we're playing.
Despite this: the best stick I've bought so far.

Very comfortable and pretty strong stick, even the art seems not be scratched after a few gigs.

Once I tried them I became addicted. The best sticks for me, and I tried so many. I was always between 5A and 5B and this is perfectly in between, perfectly balanced and incredibly durable (around 3 times longer playing time), and I play quite hard. Extra points for cool looks too.
