"Keep buying wood sticks. You'll thank me later!"
I think I've said too much already.
Sound
Seems to have no discernable difference in sound from an average wood stick
Features
Came with set of replacement sleeves.. Not sure why.. Aluminum shaft snapped in half way before having an opportunty (or need) to replace them.
Ease of Use
UMMMM.. It's a stick.. It's as easy to use as any. I have played 5b sticks for years. Usually Vic Firth american hickory. Had very good experience with Vic Firth sticks. I strongly recommend wrapping these with some stick tape as the aluminum shaft is slippery and you will wear your hands out prematurely trying to hold on to them.
Quality
I'm really not a hard hitter. As I said before. Broke aluminum shaft in half in similar if not less time than I would normally see a wood stick break.
Value
Just keep buying wood sticks. In the long run, you'll be happier and probably spend less money.
Manufacturer Support
Not applicable.. Didn't use support staff
The Wow Factor
I wanted it. (emphasis on the ED) After using the sticks for a short time, I really don't feel that they lived up to the "hype".
