I go through so many sticks and these are very well made with perfect balance and weight
They feel well balance and light in my hands... definitely buy more....
These sticks have a great weight and very well balanced.
Sticks are quality Laminated Birch, well made with beautiful wood grain, hard to dent unlike maple, varnished a slight bit more than Vics but not slippery to me, balance is great for weight.
The weight, balance, and thickness work great for me, and the rubber has the perfect grippiness without being sticky
They are well weighted, have a solid feel, and the black ink/dye/paint doesn't not come off on the hands (the gold will flake off after a bit though).
I didn't like the feel, quality & balance of the sticks that came with Rock
However, I have found them very useful on the practice pad, which in turn makes playing the quiet e-kit that much more enjoyable

Even though I like the weighting and feel of oak better, I'll probably be using these exclusively from now on because of the dip, which also has held up quite well and not worn off
The only issue I have is that the grip starts to break down and tares off after multiple playing.
The grip on these sticks were perfect and it was exactly what I wanted
Perfect for practice, very comfortable, but the dip can come off if things get super intense behind the kit (i.e. gripping hard, heavy sweating, really using the sticks harshly) and get scratched by nails.
Nice sticks, good if you're a loose grip drummer in need of comfortable grippable sticks
They don't show the dents and the grip is great (from the mouth of a 12 yr old, he is not very descriptive).
