I've been marching for 4 years now. I've done high school, and currently college and indoor. I'm also hoping to go audition for corp and let me tell you these are by far the greatest sticks EVER! They were the first marching sticks I ever used and I still have not found anything better. If your serious about marching buy 2 pairs of these for performing and a pair of ms4 for building muscle and improving chops and i promise you'll rock the world! But let me say don't use them on drumset like some idiots. If you"re a full blown percussionist like me be smart and do what I did get a pair of Buddy Rich sticks too.

I use these for practice and drum kit playing they are excellent for building hands. at firth I thought they were too heavy but I gave them a shot. now I LOVE these sticks. makes playing 2b's effortless now :). best part they DO NOT break under heavy rim shots. cant say that about 5a's obviously. all in all they are a tremendous value. and no I have not broken any equipment in the 3 months I've been using these. proper Moller technique mitigates all that.

These sticks may look like the odd ones out, but pick them up and you will realize how great they are. They are light, but not to light, they are fast and crisp and they just honestly blow your mind when you play with them. I never would have expected that these ugly little strangely shaped sticks would be so awesome! I was the only one in our drumline to use these during practices, and as people tried them out they loved them! After a couple of practices they all discreetly had boughten a couple of pairs of these things. I would really advise these to anyone.

Of all the sticks I have purchased from here this was the one that I thought would be the worse....but after playing with them right after I got them that changed completely! This stick masters out every stick I have played with! They are long lasting, weight perfect, and can help even the clumbsiest drummer make a roll so clean you can hear every single tap made! These are the best sticks ever made....they beat RALPH HARDIMONS, LEE BEDIS, AND TOM FLOATS by far! If you want to put your adience in awe pick these up and get at it!

I know the stick look funny but it is so light!! I use them on the drumline and their amazing!!!
