Not crazy about the branding on the sticks, but the price is nice, they're balanced well enough, light, have nice length, and the tips project pretty nicely on my cymbals. Also, they don't mark cymbals or heads anymore than namebrand.Not sure about longevity, but I don't try to destroy my drums when I play, so I figure I'll get some time out of them.--okay, two days later, you lose a star because one stick lost a tip yesterday, and the tip of the second tip pulled right off, during the SECOND session with them 🤔😑 Hopefully that pair was the exception. Use better adhesive, people.--edit 2....I pulled all tips with pliers ( wasn't hard ) and glued them back on with clear gorilla glue, and after a few pretty fervent jam sessions with one pair, they seem to be holding up. They're still worth it for the price, and they make alot of noise for lighter sticks; I will likely buy another pack.

I have used On Stage sticks before and have always been happy with them. I bought 2 boxes of these. When I went to record a song I grabbed a fresh pair of brand new drumsticks. Withn about 20 seconds, the nylon tip flew off. That's weird I thought, I wasn't even playing hard! Grabbed another stick and wouldn't you know it? Tip flies off almost immediately. Under closer inspection I found that there is not and never has been any type of adhesive to hold the tips on. So now I am going through and glueing them myself with some epoxy glue. I don't know if it's a manufacturing glitch or what, but just know if you buy these there may be some DIY involved if you want the tips to stay put.

These sticks are a good mix of light enough to be Fast yet Heavy enough to Pound with. Not quite as big of a Beaver Dam under my Hi-Hats after a gig and the Tips stay on reasonably well and don’t take my Bass Players ears off regularly . The Price is Right. (Sorry it wouldn’t allow a picture)

I am using these sticks to replace my Thomas Lang Signature 2B Vic Firth sticks as they are $20 + tax PER PAIR!!! I go through sticks like a fat kid in a candy store... Ive been spoiled with how grippy and nice the feel is on the Vic Firth sticks, however, I bought some hockey grip tape that is light enough to not create a performance problem, but grippy enough to simulate the feel of the Vic Firth's. As of now, the sticks are constantly slipping out of my hands so the tape should solve this. None the less this was TOTALLY a baller move on my part; saving money and finessing the system is what I live for. Enjoy your purchase guys!

Guys seriously...If you are looking for well balanced perfect sticks then look elsewhere...these are cheap practice sticks..If you area heavy hitter and you blow through tons of expensive sticks during practice then these are perfect...they are cheap...they are cheap for a reason...The only issue I have had is the tips...spend the time and glue them on properly...the tips go flying all the time. Just use simple cheap super glue. They are just pressed on and they dont stay. Did I mention they ere cheap? I got these for just that...I chew up sticks and for practice sessions or just jamming I use these...If I am playing out then I use my good sticks...buy those in bricks too...a lot cheaper but dont expect to much for this price . They are weighted good enough for that...they last a decent amount of time even for heavy hitters...Im a rim shot guy...flat snare......my snare tears mine up quick...plus the way my hats are I chew through them pretty quick...but THEY ARE CHEAP....thats the real deal here. Not the sticks. For the price of these things I am giving them a solid 5 stars...just remember if you get the nylon tips...glue them on...they wont stay on there more than 3 minutes...unless youre a jazz guy...maybe 10 :)If you have any questions please leave it in the comment box and I will try to help you. As always be safe and happy drumming!!

アメリカン・ヒッコリーに比べて、かなり軽いです。メイプル素材は、ささくれ立つよりへこんで行きます。へこみが度を超すと、割れてきます。ＡＨＷ５Ｂと持ち比べると、重さが全く違いますが、太さは気になりません。ヒッコリーか、メイプル・オーク系かは好みだと思います。

Ive been a drummer for the better part of 20 years... These sticks are not worth it. Yeah, they are inexpensive and you get a lot of them, but save yourself the trouble and dented skins!... I figured why not, give them a shot, more of a goof chance than anything (hey, sometimes it pays off) but Im not mad that I did, I learned my lesson like so many others... Half of the sticks were warped, they break easily (after 2 hours of moderate playing) and Im not a hard hitter, the nylon tips are not glued on well, they come flying off, and caused me to dent 2 heads from the sharp tip. Furthermore, they are not sized properly. They are the diameter of a 5b, but the weight of a 5a, obviously due to inferior woods being used... I threw away the last 5 pairs that were left as I couldn't take the hassle and damage any more... Do yourself a favor, buy the Pro-Mark Japanese white oak sticks, they cost a bit more, but last 10 times longer than any other wood stick I have ever played, are perfectly balanced and tuned.

I'll be honest, I was on the fence about these sticks. I've always preferred to buy name-brand products, and Vic Firth has always been my go-to brand for sticks, but I've been a bit strapped for cash lately, and decided to give these a shot.What do I think of them? They're great! So far, I haven't broken a single stick, and I've been playing everyday since I bought them over a month ago! They chip and dent just as often as Vic Firth sticks do, but because they seem to be a tad bit thicker, they're not breaking yet. A couple of times I've had the nylon tip fall off, but all I did was push it back on against a hard surface, and it stays on. I imagine that if it flew off you could always put a drop of crazy glue inside of tip before putting it back on the stick.All in all, for the price and the amount of sticks that you get, combined with how durable they seem to be, these are a great value. I recommend giving them a try if you're strapped for cash and can't afford name-brand sticks.

So dang, 12 pairs of sticks for a couple bucks a piece! Other than the price they feel on the lighter side for 5B's, and I can slam with them, abuse them on rimshots and if they get "chewed up" then who cares right? But the wood is solid and in spite of the price I wouldn't really consider them soft, weak and crappy. They are straight, at least the ones I've gotten.They feel OK for jamming at home although I find myself reaching for my Vic Firth's when playing live. So I recommend them for practicing. Out of two bulk sets(24) only 3-4 nylon tips have come off. Good for throwing out to the crowd!! Down side is the crappy feeling I get from the fact that they are MADE IN CHINA. But when you consider Pro Marks at $7-$8 a pair it's worth buying a pack of these just to have around and stock up on.
