Great Stick For That Extra Reach

DrumandBassCollector 17.06.2017

I've played these sticks for 6 years. Great balance and they seem to last a damn good while (average of about 2/3 months being played every day practice/band practice/gigging before they're completely gone).

Only downside is if you buying pairs from different bulks their weights and thickness can be quite a bit off (e.g buying 2 lots of 12 pairs and mixing all the sticks in your stick bag) but if you're only buying 1/2 pairs at a time you'll be fine.

If Vic Firth's 1A stick was weighted better I probably would change to them however.

I have played these sticks for some time and they really have rarely let me down and have took some serious beating. Ilan Rubin (NIN/The New Regime) is the biggest endorser of these particular sticks. If you need to see someone putting them through their paces, watch him!

Fast and hard hitting.

RobJohn 11.04.2017

Bought these after my promark 2Bs weren't giving me enough speed/consistency.

These take some getting used to.

These sticks are the same as 5Bs but with roughly an inch extra length. - Great for really fast/hard snare work as you get much more leverage with the left hand when playing rimshots.

That extra inch also does a lot for you all around the kit - extra volume and speed when you need it on toms/cymbals allows for much louder accents throughout.

That being said, they are still just 5Bs and give you all the delicacy/accuracy that normally come with 5Bs.

Great sticks, worth a try.

It's like playing with Tree Trunks...

Not much to say about this pair of drum sticks other than they're well balanced. The wood feel is okay but not great, I'm use to Vic Firth where they have that lacquer feel. 3 Stars! A great pair of sticks but nothing special in my opinion. Perfect for the drummer who smacks the crap out of his snare.

Best friend for a heavy hitter

A sturdy stick with a great balance! Can handle a lot of damage, but doesn't feel too heavy. The tips are kinda fragile on some pairs. On others they last for months. The perfect pair for me.
