Pro Mark American Hickory 808 Wood Tip Drumsticks in Ian Paice Autograph Model

Good quality

Obviously drum sticks are an individual choice in simply ‘what feels right for you’ therefore this is my personal opinion on these sticks after trying 4 other weights/manufacturers/balance/tip shape/length of sticks which once again isn’t an exhaustive review of everything out there and I am a novice just learning to play (just passed my Grade 2 exam).However with all that said I have found these sticks to be just right for me. They just feel right for speed, dynamic variation, durability and cost. I play rock oriented music (not heavy metal) from the 70’s to current tracks and these sticks do the job. I purchased them after watching a YouTube video of Ian Paice talking about (promoting) them, I then watched other video’s of him playing and he was definitely using these.With regard to cost Amazon had them on sale at £8.85 recently therefore I purchased 5 pairs so I am now set up for a good while.So there you go, my unscientific review based solely on trying a few and not knowing what to expect until I found a pair of sticks that felt comfortable and let me play what I wanted to play without having to think about them at all and therefore just focusing on what I am playing. Hope this is if some use? Thank you

Good quality drum sticks endorsed by the great Ian Paice

can't fault these, good quality and nice size and weight. The mark to show where you hold them's a nice gimmick!

I bought this item as a Christmas gift to a friend of mine that plays the drums. He went totally nuts! He also told my that they are playable and not only for show-off! So he enjoys it every day!

a very well made stick..i bought these to try..a tad on the light side for me (i like 2B's) but i will be using them for some softer applications..recomended.

Great well balanced drum sticks with prompt delivery and great secure packaging thank you
