I found the weight/balance/taper of these to be absolutely where I like it, and the dip grip certainly let's you relax more, but the dip peels and breaks away way before the stick is ready for the bin. Something to bear in mind if you've got tough skin, or like your rimshots.....

I really love these sticks. They have a really nice feel and are very comfortable in playing. The only reason why I personally would give this a 4 is because they are loud on the ride cymbal because of the nylon tips. But if you like that, then these sticks are perfect for you.

These sticks have excellent balance and a smokin' cross stick rimshot, like hitting a wood block.

ONLY ones I've used for over 15 yrs now. And because of the confident grip they actually helped me with my overall speed...Rock On.

Well made

It has a really good feel to it, I like the overall sound that it gave me ????

Played these on a demo kit at a music store. Complete revelation as far as stick control. Not only the dip, but the weight and balance blew me away. My new sticks of choice!

I like how light they are, I love the non-slip handle

The sticks and practice pad are of great quality, good balance and response with the pad
