i really prefer vic firth sticks neway, but these are my favorite, i use them for metal and hard rock, u won't hear this many places but these light ones are great for fast fills. yeah the tips seem to beak a little too easy. to remedy that just switch sticks to different hands to avoid the same one getting whacked on the cymbals more. that will help, in the meantime get these and u won't go back to heavy sticks, it just won't be the same.
I needed a stick that was light enough for jazz gigs, but at the same time durable enough for rock gigs. After going through several different pairs, I finally ended up giving these a shot, and I haven't gone back. Occasionally the tips will chip, however even chipped they have a great response on my ride. Also every once in a while I'll get a bad stick, and it will break pretty quickly, however this is the exception, not the rule.
These sticks are really fantastic. Excellent sound on the ride cymbal and a nice cross stick sound on the snare. I use to play with the Vic Firth 7a sticks until I found these. They are lighter than the 7a sticks.
