Vic FIrth - NOVA Drumsticks - 2B - Wood Tip - Black

I like the product, good weight and ism enjoying using them, but the bit I dont understand I ordered the item I would assume when you order drum sticks they would be a pair but when I ordered them a box said there was a minimum order quantity of 2. So I though that's a bit strange why would you buy just one drum stick I thought when you ordered 1 item you were buying 1 pair so I tried to delete 1 of them but wouldnt let me so had to order 2 so when it turned up there was 2 pairs but didnt want or need 2 pairs just wanted 1 pair thats the only issue I had I suppose if I ever break my drumsticks playing an electric drum kit I've got a spare pair.

Drumsticks received on time, thanks. The box to the rear in the photo is what they came in. Who would have thought such slender, postbox ideal items would need such a lot of cardboard? I’m sure the sticks are perfectly fine.

I've used Regal Tip 5As for over 40 years and picked up playing again after living overseas. I nearly fell off my stool at the price so thought I'd give these a shot.After a couple of months of daily use on an e-kit they are doing very well. The grain is not perfect (they are seconds, after all) but the sticks are straight and feel good. More front-weighted than the Regal Tips, but still well balanced.I can't score longer-term durability (hence three stars) and I suspect there will be an element of pot luck in the purchase. Also, I haven't tried them on a real ride, so can't comment on the nylon tips. But underpinning all this is the price ... and for practice or moderate use I'd say excellent value for money.

Pretty good sticks honestly! Wasn’t expecting much considering the price. I bought them as an extra set of cool looking spares but I actually really like how they feel. Maybe not the most durable sticks out there but I’d highly recommend if you’re a beginner or looking for a pair of cheaper sticks.

Does the job

very good drum sticks, but came with a crack in the wood.

The sticks are pretty good. I’ve been using them on an electric kit, so in terms of durability I can’t really say much.Unfortunately I was sent 5A sticks instead of 7A as I ordered them. However, I have quite enjoyed using them.

Perhaps I don't play aggressively enough or regularly enough, but after a couple of years (alternating with other sticks - Vic Firth 5As from a local store) these are still going. Quality seems fine, no issues with them snapping or breaking.They're light and comfortable to play with - so I'd recommend them for beginners.
