I knew that they are huge, but I never thought that they are SO huge! I've played last time with some thin Vic Firth sticks, so I need to train now so long that I could fell comfortable using these steroid things. But it's always possible to learn and the sound you get in result worth it completely, because it's so huge, bright and loud! So if you want to get everything from your drums, every sound it's possible to give, use them, they are great and suit for any metal gig (using them everyday can cause muscularity). And of course every Rammstein fan should buy them just to know how Schneider feels himself playing.
