"Not Worth The Price"

Overall: I bought these sticks not even a year ago. Hardly used them. And I play a Yamaha Electronic drumsset, that have silicone & rubber pads. For the price you pay for these so called sticks, you would think, that they were made better. The grip part of the stick broke inside. Now you can buy the taper covers & the replacement tips all day long, for a good price. But you can't buy the replacement grips, that I know of. I'm not going out and buy a new pair of sticks again for $ 30.00, or more. And to top it all off, you gotta super glue the tips, back on. To me, I rather buy 3 prs. of sticks, instead of one of these poor designed sticks. I just hope other drummers have better luck, than I did. I won't go that route again.
