 "Does what it claims" 2010-01-11
By J. Kelly (Arizona)
These are cool sticks from a parent point of view but even my 3 year old drummer son thought they were too bulky to actually use to play music. I took them to his drum teacher and he said the same thing. They are a fun novelty item but not practical to play with.

 "Not for Pro Use" 2009-09-18
By Jerry P. Danzig (New York, NY USA)
Though I haven't used these onstage yet, I doubt I will. The problem is, these acrylic sticks have too much flex to rebound properly off drumheads. In other words, their playing feel is poor.



Whether this is due to the button cell batteries moving around in the butts of the sticks, or simply a lack of rigidity in the acrylic construction, Firestix just don't have the solid feel of proper wood sticks.



I had intended to use these Firestix for my band's solo number, but I'm anticipating that their feel will compromise my playing enough that I would be better off relying on the sound and feel of my usual Vic Firth wood sticks than opting for the "flash" of Firestix.



The Amazon affiliate from whom I bought these also neglected to include the original Firestix package shown in the product photo, as well as instructions. So as best I can determine, there is also no way to turn the Firestix off. That means that any knocks the sticks take in my stick bag en route to a gig will cause them to flash, reducing battery life.



I will update this review if I revise my opinion after our upcoming band rehearsal, when I will try out the Firestix.



Until then, I will consider them best suited as a kids' toy rather than an instrument for a pro or semi-pro drummer.



Disappointing...

 "For RB Games: fun, entertaining, but not great for really working on skill..." 2010-01-28
By B. D. Brault (Sacramento, CA)
I bought these on a whim as my daughter just really loves to watch someone play the drums on Rock Band. I thought it would be cool to use them to encourage her more to play. And they sufficiently accomplish that and then some. But when it actually comes to practicing the game and improving your skill, they fall short. They just feel mushy when you use them. They don't have the right resistance that traditional wood sticks give you on an electric drum pad (see Zildjian Nylon Anti-Vibe Drumsticks). I love the electric blue color, just not enough to use the sticks as often as I would like.

 "Cool, but no Cigar...." 2009-04-20
By Martin Cheslow (USA)
These definitely look kewl, but the acrylic is too soft, so the sticks flex as you strike. This provides an unpleasant "mushy" experience. Gripping them closer to the tip ameliorates the problem somewhat, but changes the dynamics.



These are fun to show your friends, but not really ready for primetime.

 "Awsome Effects!!" 2008-01-16
By A. Peditto
I bought these for the video game rock band, and they are a great accesory, fun and cool! My Friends love them too!!

 "disappointed" 2009-12-05
By E. Stevens
The batteries that came with it were dead. One stick did not light up at all, and the other was very, very dim. I ordered it for a holiday gift and expected them to be ready right out of the box. The exterior packaging does not give you the size of replacement batteries needed.

 "BEST illumintated drum sticks PERIOD." 2008-12-31
By James T. Thompson (ATL)
These are so sturdy and able to withstand my abuse! I beat the crap out of my rock band and it is great, they stay lighted and also have NEVER even blinked while playing... The stick has basically 1 piece and then a cap on the bottom of the stick, not in the middle of the stick to break when you strike the drum. Get these and you'll be very satisfied, trust me!
