I've been able to switch between traditional and matched grip easily with these sticks and feel like I'm getting a bright and balanced sound regardless of what I'm playing when using them.
I personally prefer nylon tips, which I think give a crisper, brighter sound on cymbals, but if you prefer wood tips, these are for you
I enjoy the feel and sound produced from these sticks when playing.
If you are looking for a loud, broad sound, these are the sticks for you
I was a bit apprehensive about the coating on the stick thinking it might give it an unnatural feel
He loves the feel of these sticks, and likes the fact that they're lighter than his old ones.
The ActiveGrip technology does what it says, giving a somewhat tacky feel, but it is far from "sticky" and didn't notice it getting any different as I played.
All in all, a really nice feeling set of hickory sticks
Overall this is a solid pair of drumsticks with a nice feel to them and my son enjoys playing with them.
I like them, the ActiveGrip seems to work, high quality sticks.
and I don't get as fatigue from long sessions as I
The ActiveGrip is THE BEST, you can control your sticks and forget about sweat or throwing it away and the ActiveGrip covers the entire stick
The activegrip is great for longer sessions because it does get tacky when your hands start to warm up and sweat.
That said, when you really get going and your hands start to do what they're gonna do, the Activegrip gets just tacky enough to make holding on easier.
Our daughter has been playing drums for approximately 6 years and especially loves to play Jazz and Hard Rock...both genres that can easily make her hands swat.
She was so impressed with the weight and balance of these drumsticks and was thrilled to learn that they could actually be helpful for her in longer playing sessions or with some of her Jazz or hard rock sets.
She also plays hard rock and plays for her worship team at school...an unusual variety
If you're a hard-hitting rock or metal drummer, these aren't for you.
