Zildjian Travis Barker Artist Series Drum Sticks 6-Pack

I was very excited to use these Zildjian sticks because I thought it was a great deal and they came with the thicker ends and the small marching line / Travis Barker style tips but the paint got everywhere. As soon as I started to use them it only took a minute for there to be paint on my hands and black marks on my snare head and cymbals. They did feel good in the hand though, a little on the heavy side but not worth it at all.

Great sticks...I've used them for years.

I love these sticks because they are thick and the round tip is great for snare drum rolls and rudiments. For some reason though, these sticks break very easily, most likely because the weight is uneven and they are much lighter towards the tip. The black sticks leave your hands black after playing and the white sticks leave your cymbals and drum heads with white marks all over them which do not come out very easily. Other than that, great concept. I would prefer a natural finish and a stronger wood type.

These were the first drumsticks I've ever got and i instantly fell in love. The stick just sits perfectly in your hand, gives you a nice comfortable feel and makes playing feel natural. The stick itself is attractive. After time it will fade but the stick still packs its punch. if you want a nice well balanced stick then you these are a must have.

These sticks are pretty sweet. Most of the weight is in the front of the stick which is great for playing hard and loud. The round bead tip gets a great sound out of my snare and toms, not so nice on my cymbals but if you play punk, who cares. Would also be good for rock or maybe funk but definitely not jazz.
