i just got these sticks and they are great. what i like about them is that they are the perfect size. like you can play on a counter top because of the rubber tips. vic firth is the best stick around buy them. also order fom lonestar percussion. you are not goin to get a greater deal

These things are perfect for practicing anywhere. They're very quiet and are a great alternative to drum pads. They feel just like a real stick and the bounce is almost identical on most surfaces. I play the tenors, so these are great for practicing on my floor. Because I'm not constricted to just a circle, I can hit wherever I want. I got them, also, so I could practice on my desk at school, and despite getting in trouble all the time for playing instead of doing work, it works out. If you're serious about practicing, I would still recomend investing in a nice set of tenor pads of the Off World snare pad, but these are perfect for on the go.

these sticks are really great. really feel like regular sticks. go get them
