Review: 4.5 STARS - Perfect feel; a bit less durable than other sticks. - 4.5 stars - VERY GOOD with a perfect feel and balance. I stopped using them because I notice they were wearing down and breaking a bit more than other brands (almost one stick breaking every other night of 3- or 4-hours variety work), but I am returning to them because they feel better. I wish the bead produced a bigger sound on the cymbal. The bead is good for jazz, but I wish they had a bigger sound for heavier styles.
