Best Pro Mark SH516 Timbales Sticks Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

Bought this as a gift. The musician and his band loved it at first sight. They thought it was over the top to have a branded cowbell beater, but the quality and it having two sides with different timbres has made it part of their standard kit when performing.

I really don't think you are going to find a better Samba Beater at this price! The Quality is just perfect and it does what it says on the tin. I think it's a wonderful product and I'm going to continue using it to its fullest potential Recommended! 10/10

Cool timbales sticks! These respond quite nicely in the hands. Not too stiff, so the double strokes and dead strokes are actually quite easy to execute. What I like most about these is really the feeling, that’s not so different from a regular drum stick so the transition is rather smooth.

I bought these timbale sticks a few years ago, and I still use them. They're made of pretty hard wood, so they last a long time. They have a nice feeling, light touch and uniform sound, perfect for playing typical classic percussion repertoire like Trio per Uno for example. Highly recommend these!

I prefer to use Timbale sticks (0.5mm diameter) for drumset playing as i love the feel and sound, plus they work well when playing trigger pads, i came across these and fell in love, perfect balance, feel and sound. They last too, i've just ditched the first pair i bought after 2 years with regular rehearsals and gigs. I can't not fault them.

I'm not a real percussionist, but I think this beater does its job. It's likely my fault but the wood got a slightly damaged after little use with my cowbell. I was exploring sounds and I was hitting the metal edge of the bell. I probably should have not done it. But for the price it's totally fine.

Good timbale stick especially since not painted or colored. The painted timbale sticks always seem to chip and flake, but these are natural and sound great on the timbales. I am able to get a thin sound (cascareo) in a LP Aspire timbal and it is ok with the LP ES-5 cowbell.

These Meinl SB118 Timbale sticks turned out to be much better quality than I expected. I don't use them too often so I did not want to spend a lot. They are nice and straight and perfectly balanced and sound great when I use them on my Timbales, Roto toms and bongoes.

A good pair of sticks for el timbal. The wood is of high quality... They last an awfully long time. However, I have had many instances where I unpack a new pair and one stick is a lot lighter/heavier than the other. This is very bad as it means I can't do my rolls/double strokes as effectively as I could. Likewise, often one stick is slightly longer than the other. They are also not perfectly straight... Vater really needs to sort out their quality control system. The end of the sticks is not as rounded as Vic Firth, for example, meaning they will produce a louder, shaper sound on the contracampana. When using these sticks people have commented that I have been playing the instrument too loudly. The sticks have weight and as I mentioned the ends are quite sharp... not rounded. To address...
