Very light and relatively long... slightly shorter than American Classic® 5A. They produce a clear, dynamic sound, they're well balanced, pretty responsive and perfect for studio work, but they don't produce the loud thundering sound you'd probably be after if you were say, a metal drummer... plus they'd probably beak if you continuously bash your cymbals. I'd also recommend buying the wooden tip version of these as the ends tend to come off of the nylon one's. All in all these are one of my favourite sticks !
