Cheep AccessoryJune 15, 2008 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Like a few of the other mass produced Rock Band accessories I have purchased in the past few months this product is substandard. These drumsticks feel like they are made out of plastic. The coating is cheep and the tips are crooked.
The original Rock Band drumsticks feel like the real thing and while they may not be flashy they are higher quality.
Cheap sticks, broke in a few seconds!May 14, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
These sticks feel cheap - they feel much lighter, less dense than the sticks that come with the Rock Band complete set. The ones I have are red but there's no reviews permitted at the moment while it's out of stock. I believe these are 5A's and are not nylon tipped, and I don't know why I assumed they were (I really thought the pictures on the site here make them look as though they're nylon tipped). I used them for all of 10 seconds - and I'm not a "pounder" on the drums - and one of them just snapped in half along an area where there was a small knot and what appeared to be rotted wood (that grey/blue color).
The tips are larger than the original sticks' tips that came with my original complete kit. The sticks are not a sold red but are printed with a fire/flame pattern in grey on a red background. The original Ludwig sticks are much better. At this price I would simply go to a real music store and purchase a pair of drumsticks. That way you can also get nylon tipped sticks.
Overall cheaply made. Feels cheap. Distributed by Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, Inc. They're mass-market merchandise makers for lots of other companies. Buy your sticks elsewhere!
