    • They're not too heavy, have nice balance, and are a good length and are versitile enough for drumset use or just learning how to play.
    • These have a terrific balance to them
    • These are well balanced making them easy to use for all drumming patterns.
    • The balance is very good.
    • I usually use Promark 5B sticks, these weigh a little more than the 5B but the balance is so good that you get used to it really fast
    • These also have the right balance for what I need as they also have a pair with more forward balance, for those who need more heavy handed beats with less bounce or those who like to like a grip a little closer to the tip
    • They are made with hickory and while I personally prefer a slightly wider diameter handle, these are comfortable and well balanced.
