ProMarkJapanese Shira Kashi White Oak 5B Wood Single pair (PW5BW)

ProMark only brand I recommend.

I am a 7 1/2 yr drummer and I have never had a better pair of sticks! These are a heavier kind of stick but they are very sturdy. I play some light music and they sound great, I play some heavy metal and they sound great! Love these sticks never going to get a different kind! Actually I got two pairs but I almost returned one pair because they last so long.

These drumsticks are by far the best drumsticks I have ever owned! I still have my first pair which i bought 5 months ago and I beat the hell out of them! (I play a lot!) For the quality of the stick I am surprised they don't cost more! Also, the shira kashi oak really feels great in your hands! I will NEVER buy a different stick for all around drumming!

These sticks are great! Oak makes them more durable than the normal hickory, the one downside is that they're a little bit heavier than a pair of hickory sticks would be.I bought a few pairs and I'm glad I did. They'll last a lot longer than other pairs.

My son goes through drum sticks pretty quickly, every 3 weeks or so. He was hoping these would last longer at $20 for 1 pair. Sadly, they lasted 9 days. We’ll go back to the cheap ones.

One of the best sticks I’ve used! It’s lighter than most 5b’s but still packs a punch.

These were a gift for my son- in-law. I stumbled upon them a few years ago and he raved about the longevity and quality of the product. He is not able to find them locally, so I ordered more this year.

I can chew through a pair of hickory sticks in a night when I do a lot of rim shots - they start to splinter. For some reason, the oak sticks hold up much better - worth the extra money.
