Great if you like black fingers
markodarko 13.09.2013
I do love these sticks. They are impeccably balanced and play nicely on mesh pads without "yellowing" them like wooden tipped sticks can. However, even though I don't sweat when playing, my hands end up black after a few hours bashing the drums, and the black doesn't come off with soap and water, I have to use a scouring sponge to get it off.

Interestingly enough though, I had a pair of Ahead 5A sticks around 15 years ago and they didn't blacken my hands, so perhaps they've changed their formula?

But, this is a minor quibble and certainly one I can live with, but thought I'd mention it all the same. Well worth the money for sticks that will last "forever".

My favorite drumsticks
Anton Aus Tirol 10.02.2022
I play a lot on my TD-1 and I try many different drumsticks.
After wood drumstick you can feel main difference - stick balance.
This sticks have ideal balance in every single one stick so you can change stick on type and different set but u will not feel difference in balance.
Secondary this's real longlifers I like things what work a long time.
This sticks live two year. In this period I break two pairs of wooden sticks.

Best Sticks around!
Anonymous 03.07.2016
Before I received these I was slightly skeptical at first (surely an aluminium drum stick would be a cymbol killer) but no. For me the sound of a fresh pair of wood tips is ever so slightly more desirable, however I'm sure I can get further used to these things with more practice.

Pros:
They are indeed tough: I'm a heavy hitter
Sound is good considering the material choice
They look great
Interchangeable tips, covers etc. (I'm not too fussed though)

Cons:
A fresh pair of wood tips sounds a bit nicer for me
The weighting for me is a tad off - too much at the tip
