Meistens zuverlässig.

Habe die sticks jetzt schon öfter benutzt. Und meistens war alles perfekt. Haben sogar sehr lange gehalten. Seit dem ich allerdings live spiele und dementsprechend doller, fliegen sie mir teilweise nach 2 liedern um die 👂

good

It got a bit old quickly, but I tried it on a different drum than the one I always use and it might be worn out because the cymbals aren't angled well. Nice anyway. I love this brand.

mijn favo stokjes

ooo wat zijn ze goed!

Had ze in 5B besteld. Wat een ervaring als je 5A gewoon was, liggen prima in de hand. Blij ermee.

Good sticks

Good sticks, mostly for practising.

I'm not a big fan of the natural finish tho, but that's presonal taste.

Great Sticks

Very happy with these sticks in general, some break quickly but for this price it is a great deal.

Good grip

• Better grip than the Vic Firths

• More affordable

• Quite durable**

**I had two pairs and kept each for about 2 months.

I play metal and punk.

Definitely worth buying a pair and giving it a shot!

Cheaper - But still good.

Nova, as far as I've understood, is sold cheaper due to them not making the absolutely final cut when it comes to weight/balance and stuff up to Vic Firth's standards.

This was the 2nd pair of drumsticks I ever bought. Unfortunately at the time, I was looking for 5A and bought some bigger sticks than intended since I didn't know much about sizes. That being said, I don't regret buying them, because I did end up using them on various songs and I really loved them.

As far as being a Nova, you don't really feel the difference without years and years of experience. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel too much of a difference now, it's a great stick for starting out and it is really durable. Had mine for over a year now and they still are not worn out. That being said, those are not the sticks I mainly played with as I used 5A for the longest time, but they feel great, give a great sound and are durable for my playstyle.
