These nylon-tipped Vater 5A hickory drumsticks are very responsive, comfortable, and balanced.Hickory is the most popular wood used for making drumsticks because it is denser, heavier and more rigid than maple. Hickory can also absorb a great amount of shock, which reduces hand and wrist fatigue. These sticks are made of dark, or "brown" hickory that's found closer to the tree's center and is slightly denser and heavier than "white" hickory.

 "Great, long lasting hickory" 2010-03-30
By David N. Simms (Richmond Hill, GA)
In 30 years of playing, Vater is the longest lasting stick available. I've tried them all: Ahead, Zildjian, Pro-Mark, Vic Firth...none hold up like the Vaters do.



The Vater 5B has a great balanced feel. The pairs are matched as advertised (other companies claim to match their pairs, but I feel a difference).



I can rock hard with these and they last longer than the Ahead (aluminium) 5Bs do...I play a lot of rim shots and play my hats a lot with the neck of the stick. These havethe density and tight grain that keeps them from falling apart. I expect the four pair I just bought to last me 12-18 months of regular use.

 "Ringo Sticks - Best drum sticks for all drummers" 2009-12-14
By Edward Balen (Bradenton, Florida)
I play digital drums on my Wii Beatles Rock Band. I got tired of using the thin Rock Band sticks. This came to a head after I bought my Cayman Islands and Costa Maya Hard Rock Cafe sticks. I could tell just by holding a Hard Rock stick in one hand, and a Rock Band stick in the other, that I could, and did, get rid of the Rock Band sticks.



On top of those sticks, my new Ringo Sticks, as I call them, are now my sticks of choice for Beatles Rock Band use. My drum kit resembles Ringo's 1964 Ludwig set. My Ringo Sticks make the set complete. These sticks are autographed by Ringo Starr aka Richard Starkey. They are THE best drums sticks I have ever used, and will ever use. I bought two pairs for myself and a family member of mine for Christmas.



If you want to play drums like Ringo, you need these Ringo Sticks. They are the cream of the crop, and always will be.

 "Great for casual play or practice sticks..." 2009-05-08
By Andrew P.
I bought these along with a pair of black Nova 5A's. If you are a casual or beginning player, or you just need a decent set of sticks for practicing without having to use your expensive uber-sticks, these are great. And they feel REALLY good in my hands. I was amazed at the feel after busting up pairs of no name cheap sticks that came with my used set. My complaint is that the paint that is used scratches off the tips after hitting the cymbals a while. Plus I have scratched them up playing on the sides of the cymbals. But they are good for the price. I suggest buying them in bulk if you go through a lot of sticks, though.



UPDATE:

Today, I was palying pretty aggressively, and broke one of the sticks. I have now placed the widowed stick in a safe home until another match can be found. (Questionable Content reference? Anyone? ANYONE? Oh well.) Lasted a few weeks. Played for about 10-30 minutes almost every day. I ROKK HARD.

 "Durable Stick for Practicing" 2009-11-09
By Tyler Hausen (Iowa, US)
This stick is quite durable and is good for practicing. For me, these sticks lasted for close to 3 weeks of daily playing before they broke. Only problem I've had is that the black paint on this sticks wear off onto the drum heads, but other than that these are a good deal.

 "good value" 2009-12-09
By Jon Ericson (Brandon, Fl.)
I just don't see how you can go wrong for the price! I guess I got 5a's with wood tips. the local stores are charging 2 to 4 bucks a pair for the same quality sticks, it's just rediculous! but 10 pair for 13 bucks is a great value and the sticks are good. as soon as they came in I taped a pair up and started to play, they felt light to me, but I like a slightly heavier stick. in all I can't complain and will be ordering a few more packs soon to try and get some different ones to fill the bag up, never know how many you might throw in a night! (ooops, I mean drop! ~ lol)



bottom line, if you waste too much time reading these reviews, you are NOT playing the Drums, now get back behind the kit! just order a set of sticks first!

 "AVERAGE" 2008-05-14
By Castulo Sanchez
FOR AVERAGE DRUM STICKS.... THEY DO THE JOB..... SOME DISCOLORING IN THE PRODUCT BUT THEY DO THE JOB.... GREAT VALUE

 "Great Deal." 2008-03-22
By Chris
I placed an order for 3 of these. What can I say, 60 drum sticks (30) pairs for 36 bucks is a steal. The sticks are all somewhat the same size,I'm guessing around 5a - 5b, each pack I got had a different type. So far, the ones I haved used were of great quality. As mentioned before, these are not really the best quality out there for as far as drum sticks go, but for drummers that rock out alot and break alot of sticks this is a good deal.

 "Inconsistent, but still a good value " 2006-02-22
By
These sticks are obviously budget sticks. They don't really have a brand per se, even though they are a musician's friend exclusive. And it's a grab bag type of thing, where they choose for you what model you get. The sizes they pick from are 5A, 5B, and rock (slightly bigger than 5B's), and they come in either nylon or wood tip. Well, first of all, how do they feel? I found that not all the sticks were consistent, which was a major hassle because they aren't pregrouped. They come all mashed together in a bag, and you have to sort them out. The problem was that some were heavier than others. The texture of each stick was pretty rough, but a little sanding took care of this problem. So I grabbed a closely matched pair and began to play. They feel great, and the nylon tips especially are very bouncy on rides and hats. I hit hard, and rimshot about every snare note, so of course, they started denting and chipping just like all my other sticks. But these seemed to be of pretty high quality compared to other cheapies- Sound Percussion, Stick by the Pound, etc...I was impressed that they didn't dent as quickly as other sticks, but then after about 20 minutes of playing, my snare stick just got lopped in half. I didn't expect it at all, since it was initially holding up so well, but it came clean off. Anyways, enough about my little anecdote. The verdict is that they vary a lot, and some will just break in half when you least expect it. But going back to my experience with them, the second pair held up very well. They lasted about 2 months of hard hitting, and I was very impressed. So what can you expect with your purchase? 20 mismatched sticks, all of varying quality and weight, but on the whole, these are great for practice. They cost a buck a pair, and they feel really nice in your hands, especially the 5A's. I've ordered them about 9 times now, so they an't be all that bad, because...I like them. But here's a general chart for you to refer to, so you know which model to pray for.



5A wood- very slick and comfortable sticks. They taper elegantly and have a good feel to them. Just be wary that they are the thinnest models in the grab bag, and will break the quickest.



5A nylon- Same as the 5A woods, execpt the tips are more durable, and they bounce more. Still very elegant, but kind of disappointing when you pick out a "dud" pair. I thought it was a shame to waste such as durable tip when the shaft of the stick broke so quickly.



5B wood- These are cool too. They are bigger and beefier than the 5A's, and look meaner than the 5A's. Only problem is that they aren't much a weight improvement from 5A's, but are bigger. Oh well...



5B nylons- these are the best bang for your buck right here. The tip will last. The shaft will last. They are realiable, that's the bottom line. I just don't like the way they feel compared to the 5A's. They are a little awkward because of their size.



Rock Wood- These are pretty heavy compared to the 5B's, and they pack a huge punch. They also break quickly because they seem to mess up the stick quickly with it's not-so-thin design. I don't like them them because they are clumsy, and I often drop them. One time I dropped the left stick and it hit bounced off my snare and hit me in the face. Ouch! But anyways...



Rock Nylon- I'm sorry, as much as I like musician friend's nylon tips, these just suck. The tips are ugly and less useful than other models. They are too clumsy to be cool. They are too ugly to show off with, even if they are the "heavy-duty" stick size that metal drummers use. And they tend to have HUGE splinters in them. Way more than any other size. Pray that you don't get these.



In conclusion of my long review, you should know that the size is not indicated on the stick itself, you you'll have to examine it to determine which one it is. Except for the Rock Nylons, which will stick out like a sore thumb with little target's painted all over it. They look pretty ugly. But, unfortunately, the major drawback is that you can't choose. Just hope you get 5B nylons, or 5A nylons. But hey, this is still a great value. Musician's Friend has done soemthing neat here, giving you the luck of the draw. For budget sticks, these are the way to go, but if you have a lot of moolah to dump, or if you are a very hard player, the higher end sticks will always be waiting for you to grab them off the shelf. I repeat: These do not compare to Zildjian's or Vic Firth's, or Vater's, etc...They are merely budget sticks that rise above all other budget sticks. Or more simply put, "the best bad sticks" you can find.



Hope this was helpful.
