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

these are the perfect marching sticks if you're in a marching band get the Ralph Hardimon SRH

I keep buying different sticks to see if I'm missing out on a better stick, but I always come back to my Hardimon's. Can't be beat.

Great stick by Vic Firth.

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.

I have to say that i'm dissapointed that scott johnson doesnt have sticks in vic firth anymore, but these Ralph Hardimon sticks are the next best thing, their perfect weight, look, feel, response, best stick next to scott johnson.

EVEN THOUGH I JUST GOT MY PAIR TODAY i can tell that they will last for a long time they are smooth,heavy,fact:is good for practice, i cant ask for better drumsticks even though it took 4 days to get them i recommend these for any one who plays marching snare
BUY THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!

the are the best get these smooth,comfortable,long lasting.

Everbodys gotta have a pair of Hardimons! these are awesome! I play Head Snare Drum in my High school drumline, and these thing are beat up all the time!!! ive had these for almost 7 years, and they are not even close to giving up!

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.
