Very good budget rods

Purchased as a heavier alternative to my Promark Cool Rods. They feel good and sound good however after a couple of months of use the upper binder that holds the dowels together started slipping. This is probably a technique issue with my hits, honestly, but I resorted to duct taping the binder back in place and this has worked since.

Good for quiet playing

Decent sticks, rods themselves are durable, however I have found the rubber band around the sticks slides up and down the sticks after a little while playing with them.

Millenium FY-1 Floppy Sticks

In general, everything is fine. Execution quality OK.

But the balance is bad. The handle is heavy.

Not very comfortable to play.

I use it a little (it doesn't have much space in my music) - so it suits me. It is very inexpensive and the material is of high quality - so it will serve me for a very long time.

The sound is good on both drums and cymbals.

Good rods

These work great, especially considering the price. The rebound is good, the sound is perhaps a bit too weak, but all in all, a good buy

Excellent rods, well built

Extremely durable rods and a good balance between regulars sticks and the usual rods without the solid handle. The only thing I would prefer would be a smaller diameter on the handle, I usually use a 5a stick but these are a fair bit bigger. You get use to it, but I think the feel and balance would be helped by slimming the handle down to around a 5a/b size. Other than that well worth the purchase.

Fine for some light jazz

Just to try out! Work well, and the length of the flexible end can be adjustment to make the hit lighter or heavier... still prefer stock, to; keeps my playing dynamics sharp!

Sound is a bit flat

Not as a great a range as I would like to have.
