These sticks are great! I've been playing for about 5 years, and have been really drawn to Jazz. It's hard to find a good stick for this application, especially me because I'm very picky about the sticks I use. But when I first bought these sticks, magic happened! They have superb balance and great stick definition. Plus, the short neck is great for accents on cymbals. Though these sticks are a bit easy to break, I recommend them to anyone who takes their Jazz seriously.

The Peter Erskine ride sticks are definitely my favorite for acoustic and light fusion jazz playing. The small oval tips bring out a beautiful tone. They are also great for sensitive snare drum work in a concert/orchestra style playing. The only downside is that they don't really produce a great deal of rebound on drums but overall a fantastic buy!
