Lightweight little drumstick.
4 Stars
Lightweight little drumstick.
These are very lightweight and would be good for a beginning drummer. You can see from my pic the difference in the tip from my V.Firth 5B's and these. These are oak. I've never played with oak sticks before. Other than being lighter in color than hickory, they feel less dense too. My 6 y.o. seems to prefer these as they don't fatigue her hand as much. Rock on!

Excellent sticks especially at this price.
I will definitely from this point buy more of these.
they fit well in my hands and are very comfortable playing.
The only thing I need to say is this is just straight wood, no grips on the sticks.
I don't care because when I play with straight wood I wear drum gloves for a better grip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking constant beating from a kid and holding up well!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2020

We were not using these on a proper drum kit or “real” use so I can’t say how they hold up for that.

These are perfect for my toddler who is VERY into drumming. They are used on a floor drum, on some hand drums (not ideal but they’ll be ok), on the table, on the floor, on the rock band drum set, the couch... lots of places! So far they’ve held up well and the fact that there are 3 sets means we can drum along together!

They’re standard length which means too long for a little kid, but it works. I might saw down and sand the ends of one pair so it’s a better fit. These were cheaper than buying actual kid sized drum sticks!

My grandson takes drum lessons and from time to time my husband becomes unavailable to take him to his lessons. The drumsticks are usually in his car. These drumsticks enable all the drivers in the house to keep a pair of drumsticks in their cars just in case. It also enables us to have a supply of drumsticks for when they wear out.

Great starter sticks for my little drummer. He got them 12/25 and broke his first set about 2/25. They got a lot of use and abuse in band class. I'm happy with how they lasted.

At first I was concerned with how "light weight " they were and didn't know if they would hold up. But after playing with them the durability was not an issue. I would recommend these sticks for beginners.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected

I was skeptical. At this price who wouldn't be? I've been using Vic Firth 5As since I started playing which was about 6 years ago, and even now I like them a lot and they have a great feel. Lately the Vics seem to not last as long though, which is the main reason why I tried these. I've got several hours on my first pair of these and they're holding up very nicely. At about 25% of the price of Vics if they last as long as I think they are it's going to be a hell of a deal. I'm not a pro and of course I can't guarantee that you'll love these because that comes down to personal preference, but I can say the quality is there. I got the 4 pack because it was the best deal, and if a future pair is crap I'll update my review.

Update, 2/13/21: Changing my rating to 3 stars. The oak have gone up in price quite a bit, so they're not the deal they were at the time of my first review. Also, because I've had other maple sticks that were decent I tried these in maple and they were awful, lasting between 15 minutes and an hour before breaking, so avoid the maple unless you're a very light hitter or something. I just bought some Vic Firth again as it seems they might still be the gold standard.

Very poor. A pair of Drumsticks lasted 15 minutes before snapping a shooting off dangerously. Don't waste your money. These are the worst sticks I have ever bought.
