I've been using these drumsticks for over one year! I've been playing drums for about three years. I find these drumsticks are very sturdy and have the right sound for jazz. The sound is precise and fast and the bounce is very easy.

I wouldn't say that they color the sound of cymbals.

FYI I have a Meinl Classique ride, a ZBT crash, a KZ hi-hat, an Avedis splash and a Mini K China from Zildjian.

I love how the drumsticks sound with cymbals and drums. They are also versatile: you can play fast or hard!! ^^.



They sound accurate rather than round, and the lack of warmth might be a disadvantage for some...…

They sound accurate rather than round, and the lack of warmth might be a disadvantage for some drummers. I noticed that the room temperature influences the playing feel compared with wood sticks (your hands will notice when it's cold).

I own many different wood drumsticks and there are many I don't like. I've also played with American Vic Firth, various Zildjian models the Dave Weckel signature model (which is really good but a bit too heavy for me). I change models regularly. The tip from these ones is different from the one in carbon models, it's nice but not my favorite ^^. Carbon sticks allow you to play faster! Zildjian models are well balanced but I prefer the Carbosticks. They feel much more comfortable and they are the lightest sticks I've ever used.

They are certainly expensive. You pay twice as much as for a standard wooden drumstick pair but you also get twice the advantages!! Including a very long life ;). Mine are dead now ^^ after one year of regular use.. I will buy Carbosticks again!

I will also try nylon models later because I love the playing feel, much more than with wood sticks. As a summary, I don't have a long experience regarding drumsticks but I know very well all models I own. That's why I give them 8/10.

Try them out to make your own opinion. The value for money is good ;).

I use these chopsticks for 1 month.
We must recognize that there has sacrs differences between wood and carbon: these rods are a little heavier, the sound is a little diffrent but not unpleasant, strong, less bulbs in hands ...
I tried before a wooden models pack (like every drummer I think).
At the qualitprix report, worth given the service life of these sticks.

Now I pass carbon, no question of returning to the wood.

For over 3 years I use chopsticks carbosticks.
This is the best quality / price ratio for my taste, they last very long, even by typing like a brute on the hi-hat.

The only pitfalls of that I find their are some black marks that remain on the ride during the game

They are slightly more expensive than traditional wooden sticks, but life caught up with the price.
Recommended for hitters.
