responsive and precise
I buy Vic Firth as they are excellent sticks. I usually use 5b sticks with traditional teardrop tips. These round tips play beautifully, they roll around the kit and are precise, responsive and they suit my heavy jazzy style brilliantly. Swift dispatch also , ordered an extra pair straight away. Rock on Tommy!

Good buy
Vic firth are great sticks. Been a drummer since a young age and always loved vic firth sticks. Good weight, strength and rout tips for sound clarity. Good price.

Ooooh
I thought I'd try these round headed sticks for use with an orchestral snare drum... I had previously been using the "standard" tear drop shape heads, and was skeptical as to whether these would make any difference... How wrong I was! I'm not sure exactly why, but drum rolls with these sticks are smoother and more easily controlled (I had to swap back to the equivalent weight tear drop type to be sure, but there's definitely a difference!)... Also, these seem to allow better dynamic control - useful if you're trying to swap seamlessly between players in Bolero (say) ! I still perfer my various tear drop vic firths for kit playing, but these are now my favourite go-to sticks for pretty much everything else.

Purchased these for my husband for his birthday. He's a professional drummer and they're his preferred sticks. Very good quality and delivered quickly too. Will buy again!

Great stick if you play a lot of dynamic volumes
I have tried out at least 20 variations of sizes and makes over the last year. I play out once a week and have settled in on these sticks. The small tip is great because it will flyover s light sound when playing low volumes. The ball tip is great for loud volumes because the tips don't split and crack like the oval tips. I play a lot of rim shots as well, so the only reason I replace these on a regular basis is because the shafts get chewed up by the rim shots. Which happens with every stick I have tried out so far.

Calidad excelente
Andaba buscando unas baquetas duraderas para tocar la caja en la batucada y las he encontrado. Este modelo de momento está aguantando la caña que le doy. Si siguen así seguramente compre otro par.

Solid drum sticks
These are the right up there with the best drum sticks that I’ve used and I’ve been playing for 35 years. They feel great and match up perfectly. I’ve been using them for over a month, haven’t broken them and the tips are still there! That’s not usually the case:)
