"Very Underrated Sticks"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
These sticks are easily a steal with the price tag. My god I like these more than the VF sticks. No way I'll spend $10 to $15 on a pair of so called top of the line sticks because I've noticed with VF and Promark they eat away just as fast or even quicker than these so called budget sticks. I also use the Promark La sticks and they are better quality and last longer than the Promark Rebounds I recently purchased and very disappointed. I'm even a bigger fan of these Novas because the taper and nylon tips are bigger and actually look nicer in my opinion. I'm a rock drummer for 40 plus years and I definitely recommend these! Do not waste money on expensive sticks because the quality hasn't been there lately. Rock on !

these sticks are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for any type of music i play mostly different styles of Rock even some metal and these sticks are just perfect also extremely affordable!!!!!!! The thing that i love about these sticks is that they are so light so if you need to have a super fast fill you will not be stressed these sticks are perfect for any type of drumming and i would recommend these to anyone They are very similar to the American Classics which i also love but these are just as good and cheaper so why pay more for pretty much the same thing. These sticks also produce great sound. I am very glad i decided to buy these amazing professional quality sticks
