Until I came upon the Vic Firth Bolero I used all kinds of light jazz sticks made of hickory and on the thin side. The last of these was the Firth 8D, but I haven't touched a stick of that kind since giving the Bolero a try. Here's the deal: you get something fat in the hand, therefore easy to grasp, but with the weight of a light jazz stick, and a small round tip that yields a precise, delicate cymbal ping---to my ear, the most beautiful cymbal sound available. Additional virtues: the substantial amount of maple in the stick does not convey the usual shock of impact to the hand, and the tips last a lot longer than those on any other stick I've used. The Bolero improved my playing and increased my comfort on the instrument. Not a stick for hard-rockers, but anyone else should give it a try. It may suit your needs as well as it suits mine. I wouldn't want to play anything else. (Though I wish Firth would reissue its Super Bolero, which was a bit longer.) To sum up: big stick, light weight, control, comfort, gorgeous sound.

The SD2 Bolero drumsticks are, simply put, a great value. The wood is comfortable and the sticks do not slip or slide (out of position), while playing. The highlight of the stick is the tremdously full sound, which is produced from even the softest roll. The disproportional tip, as compared to the "generic" stick, is great for soft, crisp playing. Overall, a great stick for the price.
