Zildjian 5A Hickory Drumsticks - Wood Tip

The balance and bouncing are very good but the tip breaks too fast.

Liegen gut in der Hand Mit einen super Gewicht (nicht zu schwer nicht zu leicht ) Einfach perfekt

These are great replacement sticks for those of you who still have a Rock Band kit

I started drumming again after a long hiatus and was having a terrible problem with sticks slipping out of my hands. I did not want to compromise by using an overly-firm grip that would create a bad habit to undo later when trying to play with finesse, so I decided to try these. The dipped texture really helps a ton! Besides the texture, this is your standard basic Zildjian stick which is not a bad thing, they're pretty consistent. If you are a stick thrower this might not help, but if your problem is sticks that are just slipping from your grip as you try to keep your grip a bit relaxed for nuances, these dipped sticks are a godsend. I've been using them about 5x a week for practicing for a couple months now and the texture had held up fine and kept its grip. Time will tell how long it takes to break down.

These have a great grip and feel. I use them with my Roland TD-25 with mesh heads, and they feel great. The nylon tip doesn't really affect the sound on electronic drums, but I like that it minimizes the dust transfer from the sticks to the rubber parts of the kit.
