Durable
Very comfortable to play and very durable
I tried different brands and sizes but I stick with this stick ;)
Nice Heavy Sticks
i bought these to try them and i gotta say i'm very impressed, the feel a little bit heavier than regular 5A and they are balanced toward the tip, however they feel great and i always keep a spare in the studio if the drummers break theirs. Great for playing heavier music or if you want to have that 80's smacking tone.
Affordable sticks - Nice feeling
Very nice affordable sticks. They have a nice feeling.
Only con:
They tend to break easily
nice balance
I have been using these sticks for over 10 years now , every time the same comfortable feeling in my hands , perfectly balances , nice rebound and good attack for both loud and smooth playing . They also last longer than other sticks I have been trying out .
buying in bundles of 12 is a MUST as best value for money
Five Star 5A's
These are my drumsticks. I previously played vic firth 747's or 5b's but both were either just too light and prone to breakage or too chubby. These are meaty drumsticks but still manage to feel light.
Good sticks
These last very long and are on par quality with vic firth if not better.
Amazed!
1st : Feel of stick. Really, really great. Of course it is really individual thing, but they feel a bit light. You could play jazz with them. But still, there is enaf power for rock stuff. I really like this feel, but again, it is individual thing.
2nd: Durability. I play lot's of rimshots, so i am basically destroying all of my sticks in same place. But these ones are holding good. I am really suprised by durability, especially knowing the lightness of sticks.
3rd: Great price. Especially, when you buy more then 6 pairs.
Truly recommend.
Drummer from: The Highlights.
I always used to be a Vic Firth guy until I went to uni and started getting a discount on vater sticks. Since then I've only really used Vater, and not because of the price. I prefer the feel of the stick, the length and the width are the same as a Vic Firth or Promark 5A but I find them slightly heavier, not much but just enough to make it feel like I'm hitting the drums with something that's not going to fall apart or fly out of my hand. The sticks are always pretty much perfectly match, but sometimes pairs differ from each other, which is the only downside in my opinion.
"THE" STICK
Feels great in your hand. Perfect balance.Long lasting wood.Simply a great stick.
