Metallica's sound comes from these sticks!!!

For all drummers who are sick of spending their paychecks on stupid vic firth sticks then go Ahead with these sticks (lol) Seriously if you want a strong sound like Lars' then you'll get these sticks. The feel at the hilt of the stick is metal-like so it won't blister your hands too bad. Plus the feeling of the sticks is unique, no other brand can match up to these sticks. A definent must have

broke ALL of my cymbals

i got this about a year ago now, and as it was impressive that the sticks never broke, it cracked every single one of my cymbals over the course of 1 year. i would not wish this on my worst enemy. im in the process of replacing the cymbals as i get the money. i would never reccomend these, stick with wood, when the sticks break its only $5 when cymbals break its $150-$300.

    Nice sticks. They've lasted longer than most others. My son has broke six Ahead thus far.

    Best sticks i've ever used in my one year journey of drumming sadly broke on me in 6 months :( I've tried different sticks (vic firth, sound percussion) but broke on me in 2 weeks needless to say these stick are the best bang for your buck and i'm definitely going to buy some soon. Today soon!
