These drumsticks are great! I've (almost) always played on Vic Firth, and, to have a 7a stick, in round Olive, I switched to Vater (Manhattan series), and... well, it wasn't the same habits as on the 7a Vic Firth, not the same balance... Anyway, for those who play on Vic Firth, and who are looking for round 7A olive sticks, it's awesome! Bravo woodbrass delivered in 2 days.
