Personally my favorite sticks. They have a very nice feel to them and is a little bit heavier than the Hardimons, yet still feel very light in your hands. They have great rebound and produce a really good, full sound. If you're looking for some great sticks from Vic Firth you should definitely give these a try.

i like these sticks alot. they feel nice in my hands, make sure to get a high pitch pair of sticks because they give the most rebound in my opinion, and try not to get a low pitch pair of sticks because in my opinion they dont give AS MUCH rebound. but for the price of these sticks. i would recomend them. over all, they are great sticks they have a great feel, they are very beafy sticks, i like them alot no doubt about it

Campared to Hardimon's, these sticks are heavier and have ALOT more rebound to control. Thats why i love them. Matched with the 13" Yamaha sFz, these sticks produce a heavy sound that can be articulate when needed! They were my favorite sticks until somone stole them. :/

Although I recently purchased a few pairs of System Blue Snare drum sticks, I will forever be loyal to Vic Firth Corpsmaster sticks. I've been using these for years and I will never stop. The MS5's are very agile, light, and beefy at the same time. You are also very opened to gain a sustained and controlled sound out of these. These sticks, in my opinion, are the ideal marching sticks, alongside the Ralph Hardimons and the MS1's. Overall, the MS5's are a great set of sticks and I recommend them to everyone, including beginning marchers.

this stick is great, it's nice and light and is "beefy"

i love these sticks, i like that they can bring allot of sound, they feel like they got some beef, they arent too light but not too heavy. i would recommend this.
