Review: My go to sticks✅✅✅✅ - I got the black version of these. I really like them. The pair I got is nice and straight with a little bit of weight behind it. I got the 5A model. It has gold lettering, which will rub off with sweat. They do look black however, they have a slight twinge of blue to it. I’m a little scared of using these on my white heads because I’m worried the black tip will stain the heads. other than that, I use them a lot on my practice pad. They feel nice and even it just sucks that they are 15 bucks, I remember when drumsticks used to be four dollars.
Review: High quality drum sticks in my favorite color - I've been using Zildjian/Vic Firth (with Vic Grip) drum sticks for 25 years, and they've always been high quality sticks--well-balanced and solid. Now I finally have a pair in my favorite color--purple! I have a black pair and a red pair (that I use at Christmas), as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Buy!
*by O***8 on May 6, 2025*

I love the Solid Black color of these drumsticks. They are just right for playing gigs and jamming sessions. They are not too heavy so you have the perfect sound all the time. They are made to last and light weight at the same time. They are not too heavy and you can play licks at any tempo speed.
