Best bang for the buck seriously!
I've been a huge Promark user for many years but switched to cheaper priced sticks not too long ago.i was using the Vater Manhattans and they started snapping like twigs so I purchased some of these Promark LA Specials and I'm totally surprised how great they hold up and I gigged with a pair twice and had no issues at all. These are the Promark B sticks and they still play and feel like regular promarks but have minor flaws with wood blemishes but most look very good and normal. These look and hold up better than some expensive sticks that I've purchased in the past and I'm not kidding. These are definitely worth the money! Save yourself $ a pair over the expensive Drumsticks and they last just as long .Even John Bonham from Zeppelin used these for a period of time back in the day. Do yourself a favor and purchase some of these.
