The best ever!
I have gone through IP's and System Blues trying see which was better. Then I found these. Right away I was hooked. Great balance from front to back, and durable too. You cant beat these. So buy these and forget the rest.

Ralph Hardimon Signature Sticks
These sticks are fantastic! I like them so much, that I've purchased 3 pairs! They're very good build quality and I love the Vic Firth logo on them. I do not reccomend you tape the part of the stick where there is print on it, because if you remove the tape, the print comes off, I recommend taping the sticks just in front of the words and all the way to the end before the beater of the stick. These sticks are very reliable and are great build quality. Highly recommended!

Pretty good
They are an extremely good pair of sticks. Nice and light enough to muscle paradiddles out but heavy enough to get a nice full sound out of the drum. My only problem with it was one pair lasted about a week before one stick went dead and the other broke

Proven!
These were and by all measures still are the gold standard of marching sticks. Vic hit the nail on the head with these years ago and has stuck with the same recipie thats kept Vic in the marching game for years. Fast, strong, responsive and agile. These should be a must have for any drummers stickbag. Also feels great with stick tape and doesnt change the performance like tape does to others.

Solid stick
You can't go wrong with a pair of Hardimons. They produce a nice sound with enough beef behind it and has a nice weight to them (if you get the right pair). I prefer sticks with a diameter of .710 so these are perfect and the feel is so comfortable. You'll more than likely go through each pair at your local music store to get the right one. But other than that they're an awesome stick to have. I think this pair is the most overlooked stick out in the market today. People say they break easily but thats not true. If you're playing with correct technique and not just doing rimshots all the time then these will last you for quite some time. A nice pair to have in your stick bag.
