The all-black looks great, and they feel very good - well-balanced, good weight, and they're smooth but not so smooth you feel like they're going to slip out of your hands

Love the weight, balance and the coating

The tip is perfect, the weight is ideal but the color does were of on your

I go through so many sticks and these are very well made with perfect balance and weight

The weight, balance, and thickness work great for me, and the rubber has the perfect grippiness without being sticky

the weight is great

These sticks have a great weight and very well balanced.

I have no idea if they have any inherent tonal qualities, or if the weight is good, or if they're nicely balanced, or make me play like some famous Canadian

These are the right weight for me, now if only they came in red or blue...

The weight of the 5b's is perfect and the grip keeps me rockin'.

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).

Good sticks, very light weight

Nice and light weight.

Great weight and size and the finish makes spinning them super easy

Great weight and size and the finish makes spinning them super easy

I highly recommend these sticks, they're light weight and perfect.

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 weight was good, and the sticks looked of very high quality

they are more durable than the ones that come in the game, and the weight is a lot better

Perfect size and weight

However, I have found them very useful on the practice pad, which in turn makes playing the quiet e-kit that much more enjoyable
