I used these rods will have one just over a year, then that I flashed the PERIOD compltement on the game of jai jordisson while his top .... big mistake .. .. I'll just leave a particular opinion on the same ahead in it ....
First of all, these are actually joey ds 7A, knocking me weaned very serious mistake, these sticks are really for small hands! so watch out even when the size, it does not measure all 1M59 ... .. then the alloy ahead provides a very crystal clear sound on cymbals (Olive Nylon forces) still have to love the sounds cold .... then the grip is really very cold it specially for imager is like to play with gloves on a pair of wood (you do not feel anything)! they are also very heavy for the comparable super 7A 5B 2B ..... see the final alloy ahead is far from indestructible, I Clak the sheath (the body) in 2 weeks is hard .....
résumé in these sticks are really ahaed dstines drummers "industrial machinery" ready to sacrifice the warmth of wood in résumé ... I would not have made that choice! ( you a ton eh?)

ps: one last comment on the alloy compared to the wood, the wood absorbs the vibrations caused by strokes, the alloy absorbs anything it is your joints that absorb vibrations .....
