I play on Manu Katche Drumsticks 6 months and I think finally have found the perfect pair in my game a baguette or too long nor too short. Ideal for a finesse game than a game more muscular. The rods are well balanced and particularly robust (which I used to play my snare drum rim shot)
The price / quality ratio is excellent, on average you will find the pair to 12 Euros.
