Last a super long time and well made.
I just added sport racquet grips.
Play great and reliable.
Saves lots of $$ from buying many wood pairs.

Last for a long time and saves you money in the long run. I play rock music and they last a year or 2. I added badminton hand grips on them to stop stick slippage and increase comfort. Been using these sticks ever since they came on the market.

I got these sticks because I was going through wood ones in like 3 days. I play metal so I wanted to try them out, I read that these sticks are not good for you if you rimshot and I don't rimshot that much so I bought them. 2 months later well I was playing, rim shotted once and the aluminum snapped right in half, (I do hit my snare hard though.) Overall I love these drumsticks sticks and I will buy them again for sure

I bought these, I will admit they are amazing, they are sturdy and durable,after playing with them a fair bit they last way longer than I initially thought,they are very comfortable and feel amazing. I'd recommend these sticks to anyone, if you have 37$ to spare you should try them yourself.

They were a bit too pricey, I still bought them they are very durable and nice, they have a very great, clean feel, the sound at first was a bit odd but with the right tuning it can be helped ,They play amazingly,rim shots on it sounds a bit weird but you can get used to it. All in all its a great set of sticks for your stick bag and well it may be pricey still an all around great product

I bought these sticks for the fact that I would go through wood sticks in a matter of three days with around 6 hours use. 5a, 5b nothing would last but these ahead 5a's with the hard duraplastic took me about 3 weeks until I finally decided to buy a new taper. They are great long lastings sticks but the only con is the fact that even though you superglue the tips on, they still fly off and almost hit you at times and the fact that they dont feel like a regular stick but after some use, you will get used to it.
