Zildjian 5AN Anti Vibe Sticks Nylon Tip

They make a difference!

These are used with a budget electronic kit with rubber pads.

I would say they are essential in this application as they completely remove the high-frequency vibrations that are very noticeable when you change back to normal sticks. Whether the difference is so great with normal skins, I don't know, but anything that reduces the stress on the wrists must be a plus. Recommended.

Great for E-Drums

These definitely absorb some of the shock caused by the pads. If you have an electronic drum, I highly recommend this product because those rubber pads on your e-drum tend to have great bounce and this product will reduce the shock and fatigue caused by them.
