Vic firth great sticks super value for money.

I play in a rock/metal band and I'm a very hard hitter. After years of using 2B or 5A sticks because they lasted well and put up with the abuse, I tried out these "for a laugh". I wasn't laughing long because although they felt like pencils to begin with, I could play that extra 5% faster because (plain, simple physics) they are lighter. The piston in an F1 racing engine is very light so it can go up and down at ridiculous speeds - same applies here. You can accelerate these sticks much faster and consequently they'll hit the head going faster for a given force than a heavier stick. It works.Now - there's no denying that these don't last as long as a pair of 2B's but in all honesty, I've broken those in less than an hour from new as well so I figured if these lasted 45 minutes into the set but allowed me to play faster licks, it was money well spent. Now I don't bother with the heavier sticks - I just find them cumbersome and just order these by the dozen and if one breaks, I reach for another. So no - these won't last as long as a heavier stick (duh!) but for the time that you do have them - you'll be able to have more dynamics and play that little bit faster and to me that is more important. Each to their own though!

It is a regular product that I use. The product is fine no issues. Speedy delivery. So very happy.
