I got really excited about these sticks a while back before I started shopping on amazon, finally ordered them the other day and I was very disappointed. The reason is that I own a pair of effects sticks (called rutes) from vic firth. They have natural a foam/cork core with about 8-10 little bamboo or wood sticks (kind of like some incense sticks) around the outside. They are so soft and have the warmest sound and I love them to death. They give your snares and toms a completely different sound, even though they aren't too good with cymbals. I was expecting a similar response from these sticks, seeing that the tips are made of felt. I was thinking something along the lines of thinner fiber, more aired out piece of felt, however what's on the stick is extremely dense and pretty much cancels the point of using them. Don't get me wrong they do have a different response, cymbals can really get interesting here as you basically have a set of soft mallets where you can get a nice shimmering effect etc. For the rest though it's almost comparable to a wooden tip a while it does sound warmer, it's not by very much.
If you want to hit some really funky stuff or experiment around a little I highly suggest the rutes, they are completely soft and very warm.
