I have used these sticks for years. They have great balance and durability. Several of the pairs have lasted me 18 months or more. Good feel, good control and excellent ability to work the dynamics from soft to very loud.
My only complaint is that they no longer are available in golden oak. Those were extremely durable.

I got these as part of a larger order of various sticks I wanted to try out. These Neil Peart sticks have become my go to for everything now. They have a great balance to them and just feel so nice. I'm a hard hitting metal drummer and these sticks brush off hard rim shots like they're nothing and the tips, after about a year of heavy use, still look almost brand new. The weight allows you to really lean into the drums with ease, but they can also be really subtle when you need them (I'd feel comfortable using these for jazz). I know the fact that the heavier weight of oak may make people weary of the speed you can get from them but it's not an issue at all. The tapering and diameter are just perfect so that it isn't an issue. Fast blast beats and jazz ride beats are super easy with them. 100% recommend for any style of music. I even use them for church, high school concert band, and a little samba Mardi Gras group. Honestly can't recommend a better stick.

I got these for my brother for his birthday. He and I are big Rush fans. Neil Peart was an exacting, brilliant drummer. Everything he did was on purpose and he was a perfectionist at technique and sound.
These sticks reflect that outlook: They are balanced just so, just the right amount of weight, and wooden tips. Will these make you sound like Peart? Not necessarily. Can you benefit from the mind that developed the subtleties incorporated in these sticks? Yes.

I have to admit I have a small addiction of trying out just about any drum stick I can get my hands on, and out of all the different sticks I have ever played with, these are BY FAR the best drum stick I have ever used! They seem almost unbreakable, I have had them for some time now and haven't even left a mark yet! They have impeccable balance and the absolute perfect weight. I use them for everything, from dynamic soft playing at church to any metal song, these have never let me down and the tip is extremely solid, thick, and well balanced with the rest of the stick which makes it that much easier and more comfortable to use for ride bells and snare work. I absolutely recommend and I cannot think of one negative about these even if I tried!

Never been a wood tip fan till I played with these, amazing crisp sound on the cymbals durable and the stout feel of oak make for fantastic playing and sound! Used several types of stick and I will forever be a fan of these.
