Vater Swing Hickory Wood Tip

So I bought them, so I can have a try on them since I can't find them in my country. I really love the quality of Vater drumsticks but liking a specific pair of drumsticks is clearly a matter of taste...

I used to be a vf aj3 user, and then I became a vater bebop 525 user because what matters to me on a pair of drumsticks is how the cymbal attack and wash sounds to me when playing.

I kinda found them similar to the vf aj3, although the weight on the swing stick is more centered to the front. The stick definition was good and clear although brighter than the vj aj3.
