Millenium 5B Maple Drum Sticks -Wood- Reviews

Bad but cheap

Cons:

1. The sticks is too light

2. The sticks doesn't match well in pairs

3. The sticks breaks after a few hours of not-intensive playing

Pros:

1. They are extremly cheap

2. Not bad for practice at home on a drumpad

Meh...

They are maple. They break quickly. Will probably work for smooth jazz or something but for hard rock, no. Get some millenium hickory. That will last a whole lot longer.

Average

I have had many negative experiences with this brand. The 7A's I owned of these sticks broke within a day. These, however, lasted longer than that. This brand wouldn't be known for its quality. That's what you are jeopardising with the smaller prices. I would advise going for dearer sticks because they will last you longer and will be made of better wood.

However, if you're looking for some cheap sticks to last you a month or so, depending on use and how hard you hit, order a few sets of these. Know that they will break very easily. Personally I wouldn't buy any of their sticks again.

Can't fault them for the price

They're wood in a stick shape which you can hit drums with. Or cymbals.

They're straight, unlike the previous budget no-brand sticks I bought.

Quick delivery, decent price - what's not to like?

Job's a good'un!

a lot for the money

i bought these sticks because they were cheap. i bought them because i needed something that was just okay for practicing drums with. i didnt need to worry about them breaking or anything so i could cheap out and get something that wasnt very good, so i bought these.

they shortly became the sticks i use in band practice and at gigs.

these sticks are incredible for the money. they break a little bit easier than the sticks you would pay £10 a pair for, but these come in at less than a FIFTH of the price and frankly, the £10 sticks dont last 5 times as long.

definitely worth it.

Good for beginners

Little bit too thick comparing other 5b sticks. Easy to break with rimshots. But good for begginners and crowd :P

Good quality, budget sticks

These are great for the budding or beginner drummer. Yes, the quality is not the best and the sticks vary slightly in weight sometimes but for the price I do not think there is much to compalin about. They last, they sound good, they are fairly similar in weight (within the pair) and they are comfortable and easy to handle. Anybody below semi-pro level should be happy playing these.

quantity for quality

The sticks that comes in pairs are not weight matched. They differ from 5 to 25 grams. The endurance is very bad. Some break after only 3 hours of playing.

But if you order a large quantity of pairs, and match them With a precise waight scale, than you have weight matched pairs for only 2,20 EUR. That's four Millenium

pairs instead of one VIC FIRTH pair. You'll always have undamaged sticks, because they break before, they get worn of.

Good sticks - great price

These sticks are great for the money - really straight and smooth and seem very well balanced. I bought a couple of sets to ensure I always have some spare - and to be honest, I would struggle to differentiate quality compared to sticks twice the price. So if you want some decent sticks for a couple of quid - these fit the bill

Best sticks ever =p

I have wasted atleast 100 euro going through different pairs of sticks, breaking sticks and sticks that dont last long more than 2 days are a waste aswell, I purchased 10 pairs of these 2 weeks ago and i'm still on my first pair, not wearing away or anything really reliable. =D
