    These sticks have lasted me from 5th grade band all the way to high school marching, and will certainly be my go-to sticks for years to come. Besides the minor dents from hitting the snare rim, the sticks are still in great shape and don't seem to give in to anything. These sticks are incredible.

  • One of my favorite sticks

    I got these sticks when I joined band class. I have been using them for 5 years and they still are great. If you are new to drums or are unsure of what to give to your drummer friend, these are a great choice.

  • I would definitely buy this product again

    Bought this for my daughter. Selected 2 as I want sure they came as a pair. They do come as a pair, so she now has an extra set. Looks solid (but I don't know anything about it) Delivered a day faster than predicted! Thank you.
