Similar to the 'Metal' sticks by Wincent, these are thick, long sticks that are great quality. These are a good bit longer than normal sticks, but a little shorter than the 'Metal' ones. I own 2 pairs of these and 1 par of the 'Metals', depending on what I'm playing. These are more versatile in a way, I'd recommend them to anyone with a large drum kit but if you also want thicker sticks, go for the 'Metal' sticks.
