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 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 .
