Price: $8.95 Buy now!

User Reviews:
Feature:
The tapered center of the stick is not for everyone. It throws the balance of the stick forward, which makes the stick seem to gain extra momentum. If you have strong hands that can control the gravity, it’s perfect. The sticks feel deceptively light for their diameter in spite of the powerful strokes they create..

Quality:
I can make one pair last a week or longer under continual playing conditions. Make sure you know how to hit your cymbals correctly going in, because these tree trunks will win the battle vs the bronze.

Value:
pretty average for stick prices

Desirability:
they’re sticks. They look kind of cool though.

Sound:
If you like a warm, powerful spread on your cymbals from a wood tip stick, you can’t go wrong.

Ease of Use:
hit things, make sound.

Support:
not needed

Overall:
I’ve gone through at least 40 different models of sticks in my playiong years before settling on these for the long haul. I would rate them a 10 if Vic Firth made a model with a coating similar to Regal Tips.

User Reviews:
Feature:
The sticks have a Round Bead tip that create an even and warm tone on the drum kit.

Quality:
These sticks are extremely durable. I’ve only had them since this morning but I’ve already hit the rim of my tom a couple of times and there wasn’t even a mark on the sticks.

Value:
I would pay $15 a pair for sticks of this quality, so $9 seems more than reasonable.

Desirability:
I think the styling of these sticks are really cool, the fonts and designs that pro mark uses are bold and iconic. The deep red colour is really cool too. I don’t care much for the ‘ink mixed with blood’ gimmick but these sticks are really cool nonetheless.

Ease of Use:
These sticks have excellent balance and I found it incredibly easy to play really fast really quickly. The sticks take a little while to get used to because of the large tip they’re almost mallet-like.

Support:
I haven’t had to deal with pro mark’s support team and judging by the quality of these sticks, it’s very unlikely that I ever will.

Overall:
I will never play with any other sticks other than pro marks from this point onward.

Price: $15.95 Buy now!

User Reviews:
Feature:
the dowells work good – they just don’t last very long

Value:
I think they’re too expensive – but then I go through a lot of them

Sound:
They sound great – if muffled. Rimshots are good, stick work on rims is a bit too quiet. If you can’t play with sticks (you’re in a smaller venu – a church, or a small hall) these things are terrific!

Overall:
They do what they’re designed to do – but they don’t last very long, especially if you’re hitting hard.
