The first thing that people think is that the price is way too much money for a single pair of sticks, but boy let me tell you why. Im going to start with the negative parts:
1. So the main negative about the sticks is that they tend to slip in your hands because of the sweat, and they also slip because the sticks are made of metal (aluminum to be exact).
2. Another negative part is that the tips can sometimes screw themselves off but that happens very rarely, they are screw-on tips so you can easily put them back without any glue.
But NOW going to the positives:
1. A positive that almost EVERYONE will tell you is that they last incredibly long, like up to 10 times longer than normal sticks type of long.
2. You will never need to buy another pair (if you dont lose them of course) because all the parts can be bought, with these sticks the sleeves that you will need are gonna be the MT style sleeves which dont cost a lot, and the tips just the regular A5 kind.
3. One of the best parts about this is that they dont chip. I play on a fuzzy rug, so now im glad that i dont have chips lying around no more and im sure you will too.
4. A small difference that sure does an impression is that they tend to have a better rebound than normal wooden sticks, which will come in handy if you are going to play metal.
5. This is a personal take on a positive, but on the back you can see a little text that says ''JJ1'', and that refers to Joey Jordison, the former Slipknot drummer, that man was a legend and anyone that wants something after him should get these sticks, since the wooden promark signature sticks are nowhere to find thsese days.
Conclusion:
These sticks are friggin' amazing man, even if they are a bit expensive.
