Millenium 7A Drum Sticks Maple -Wood- Reviews

Unbelievably cheap

When you see a pair of sticks this cheap, I mean, you gotta try them!!

I was expecting the worst quality there is, and the truth is, I'm somewhat surprised they aren't worst.

Been playing them, for a couple of weeks now on rehearsals and (being a "light drummer" as I am) I can say they are still one piece and only have a few dents, which to me is surprising.

Soundwise, well, I would record with them, it's just not the same as a pair of Vic Firths. They sound cheap...

But for rehearsals, they do the job.

If you're not happy with these...

...you're really hard to please!

When buying five pairs, at the price i usually pay for a single pair, you won't hear me complain. Especially when they are well matched and well balanced, which these indeed are.

Wooden sticks run out fast, so i'm happy w/this affordable alternative for top quality sticks at over 15,= a pair. These are perfect for practice, for beginners, for drummers that play so hard they use up a lot of pairs, etc.

Even for advanced drummers (i've been playing for almost 40yrs now) i don't think there's a lot to complain about. A bit longer perhaps? They sound a little less crisp on cymbals than VF or other more expensive sticks, probably due to the fact this would is a bit softer, which means they'll also last a little shorter. But if you're wise you'll be playing with hearing protection, so soundwise it doesn't really matter unless you have a gig.

Price is totally unbeatable, definitely recommended!

Good quality and easy to hold while playing.

Just cheap sticks

Good to have them to use the on edrums, they are light and do not break shells or skins. It is good to have cheap replacements.

High quality product.

I really like this sticks.

Light but handy

Nice sticks, there quite light fior their size but you really can't complain at this price..they're a welcome addition to my arsenal.

Solid sticks

Pros:

Hard wearing, great feel.

Cons:

None

Can't go wrong with these sticks, quality feel and long lasting

great price plus great quality

Great Value

What can I say about these? They do exactly what they are supposed to do. They are reasonably light but still have a good firm feel to them. They DO break, but they are so cheap you can buy a few pairs for the price of more "premium" brands.

One thing that I could not find out in advance is that these stick weigh about 90g per pair. There is some variance in that but I think this is normal enough for cheaper sticks. So overall, very happy with these and will definitely be getting some more.

Cheap and cheerful

Nice for the price. Good for if you need cheap disposable sticks, but quite light and will break faster than other brands. Perhaps more suitable for electric kits than acoustic kits or rudiment work.

Your first stick. And should stay like it!

This is a famous stick, because it is the cheapest stick a drum could buy. However, this insane price of around 2 euros comes with a price.

Pros:

+ Cheap beyond imagination

+ Bundle of 5 pairs costs less than a high quality pair

+ I guess these could be good for metal drummers ?

+ Best first stick

Cons:

- Density is extremely small.

- Very light

- Breaks easily

- This model (7A) has much, much bigger diameter than it should. Therefore bad quality.

- The above cons make your technique inferior to what it is.

My suggestion: Get this as your first stick, to test out whether you like drumming or not. But, this should stay as your first stick. Due to its bad quality your technique will suffer.

Basic stick

It's a basic no frills stick. Hasn't broken yet, feels fine and balanced in hand. Doesn't seem like it's going to break any time soon. Can't go wrong with that price either.

One of my favorite!

This is one of my favorite set of drum sticks, i love the feel and response that they have. You should give them a try at least once , they are a surprise, especially because of their cheap price.

Cheap drum sticks that are worth the price!

I bought these drum sticks to use at the band practice because i didn't want to use expensive drum sticks just to practice and considering how cheap they are they last long enough to be worth the money! Don't expect them to be the best but they definitly do their job!

Cheapest way of using sticks.

If, like me, you'd rather use new, cheaper sticks for a gig, rather than expensive but chewed up ones, you'd benefit from getting these. There is absolutely no way of getting cheaper pairs. Lightweight, and good length. They are not weight matched, and occasionally you will come across a warped one. Buy in bulk for even more of a discount, and use as ruthlessly as you like. Chuck after every gig or give away to students, or even use these to sign and give to audience members instead of your custom oak precision sticks! If you get a lot of pairs, remember to recycle the ones you throw away! Do it!

Try 7As!

If you have been drumming for a little while, try 7As...

They are thiner than 5As and they are more controllable.

The Millenium built is great and at a great price...

Ok for practice but not gigging.

These sticks are ok for light practising or jazz playing but anything heavier or harder stick to the more expensive vic firth or vater.

I used these at a few gigs and broke 2 sticks in one night riding the bell in the chorus of our rock set.

I like millenium, they're other products are great, drum cases and hardware..but don't go cheap on sticks for your gigs.

Rubbish

I purchased three sets of these sticks at the time. The night I got them I used them for a gig. I came home with one in tacked. I am in no means a heavy hitter, although I wouldn't necessarily be a light hitter either. I was extremely disappointed that they didn't at least last a month or a few!

They are very light sticks, as many drummers would know, as they are 7A's. That and them being of poor quality are my suggestions why they were so fragile. I know I won't be buying them again. I also would be sceptical with Millennium branded products, as it isn't the first time something has broke on the first day I have got of theirs.

To sum up, you are not getting value for money. If you do get them, don't be surprised if they don't last you long.

Good

very good quality.

OK for the price

Obviously these sticks are value for money and a good bit cheaper than most named brand pairs but I ended up disappointed with them. They are very lightweight, produce too much vibration and didn't last particularly long. They were ok for pad work but they're not for me.
