Millenium 5A Maple Drumsticks -Wood- 4-stars Reviews

Light

very light drumsticks, for the Millenium MPS-1000 that i have,are very nice, for electronic in genere i believe, for not damaging the pads.

Perfect for beginners

I buy these sticks to give to my beginner students who don't have a drum kit to practise on. If used on a kit they probably wouldn't last long, but for something to use instead of your hands they're great, and cost next to nothing.

Good price - Average Quality

Bulk bought for practice sessions. I ended up needing a couple of pairs per sessions since they break quite easily.

Good beginner spare sticks

Bargain sticks good for use when in the early throes of learning (breaking)

Very rarely are the sticks perfectly straight or weight

Lightweight but thick

Bought as part of Millenium's drumstick starter bundle, which is a great bundle for beginners.

These sticks are lightweight and a bit thicker than other 5A sticks - probably shouldn't be called 5A...

But overall a fine pair of cheap sticks.

they work

they work just as they are supposed to, i have nothing to be unhappy about.

Good

best price and qulity balance

great deal

for the price they are great as a backup or for practice.

not quite as durable as other higher-end sticks. but can't beat the price to quality ratio on this.

Good quality. Lightweight sticks.

Having never tried maple sticks, I bought a few sets of these to try. They have a nice finish, but they're too light for my normal use. I could see how they'd work for some people and situations. E.g., if you're a very light player; in a situation where volume is a problem; or perhaps for kids?

Good

Very good, only thing is, they break a little too fast.

Couldn't shake a stick at them!

Great for beating children sorry, drums. My young lad couldn't destroy them and they were light enough for him.

Very good sticks.

They're fine.

Bought a whole bunch of these to have around at the studio as back-up sticks. They feel good in the hand, not glossy, seem to be balanced well enough (at the very least the ones that I've already took out of the packaging), and the sound is fine, though obviously not as crisp and defined as ones with a plastic tip, but that's fine. The only thing to consider before buying into these is their durability - maple isn't the hardest wood in the first place, and considering the price, I don't believe that they will hold up against the test of time (or more likely, against the test of endless rim shots). They're fine to have around, but for live shows I would opt for something a bit sturdier. That said, none have broken yet, but it's too soon to tell as it's only been a bit over a week since I've started using these. For the price though it's great, even if used only for backup, further playing will show how they fare in the long run.

good

good drum stick for new learner

Value for money

Lowest price ever yet a valuable pair of sticks.

Wood is softer than standard hickory, and could wear a bit faster, nonetheless is more than enough to get the job done no matter what.

PRO:

Unmatched quality vs price ratio

CONS:

You have to get used to different weight and overall balance, abit less durable

Definiitely not bad after all

Didn't expect much from these sticks...Tactile feeling, weight and balance are far from being at the top...nonetheless they are soooo cheap that you can get over it and just play with no worries if they break from time to time.

Cheap, good but soft

These drum sticks are very cheap and nicely finished.

The shape of the tip is a matter of preference, I like more oval shaped tips. The sticks are very light.

However, maple is a very soft wood for drum sticks so the sticks get damaged pretty soon when paying acoustic drums, especially cymbals. I recommend for paying E-drums since they're light but for acoustic I recommend hickory or hornbeam sticks since these will break or wear soon.

Great Budget sticks

Great Price. But i bought these for my daughter who is a young beginner. They are a little to thick for her age. But hard to argue with the price.

Good quality for this price

Very light and easy to use, might break a little more easily, but why would you care for this price?

Good student sticks, simple and durable, bought a few pairs for students. The price corresponds to the quality.

great drum sticks

Unbeatable price/value ratio, probably the cheapest drumsticks I have ever used, but far not the worst! Great finish, I have have nothing to complain about. Maple sticks a light, so can only recommend for soft hitters and sophisticated players. Great deal!
