5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Sticks!, March 30, 2006
These sticks were recommended to me by a friend and they're great for the venue I play: church. Hot Rods allow me to play with full strokes; I don't have to hold back like I would with even the lightest regular sticks, yet I get a much reduced volume.

My muscle memory benefits and so does our congregation which has many people who don't believe drums should be used in a church. By playing quietly, I have been able to add rhythm to our band and worship without being offensive and have actually won some people over.

The only downside to these sticks is that the small dowels used will splinter and break, especially when used agressively on the edges of cymbals, ie, hi-hats. But other than that, they're hexagonal, have a non-slip grip and are easy to hold.

Great product. Pro Mark caught Vic Firth napping with these babies...

4.0 out of 5 stars i like them, August 22, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
i have not tried several brands/models of bundled sticks. this review will help someone thinking about trying bundles sticks for the first time. if bundles sticks are your thing...well i'm not an aficionado.

these "sticks" are both longer and heavier then most traditional solid sticks. they are wider to grip (which i like) so you can use more of your hand.

they don't rebound nearly as well as solid sticks. this has a few effects.

1) you can't do rolls as well.
2) because they take their time getting off the head (dampening resonance)they are quieter. much quieter then solid sticks. this is why most people get them i think.
3) the stick attack is much more pronounced then with solid sticks.

they are also not nearly as durable as solids sticks. after enough rim shots and crashes the dowels break one by one. so if you are a heavy hitter bring extras. however, since most people are trying to take down the volume with these... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ruts!, July 14, 2010

I've played these sticks on stage and they work great. However, make sure you're ready for them. If you're too much of a hard hitter and aren't used to being a soft player, these can last you probably a couple months. Maybe less. This is more-so for players who know how to use them!

But if you know how to properly use them, you've got a great buy!
