Thanks! It's all about your approach on how you play the cymbal, the way the cymbal is setup, etc. etc. Are they more durable sticks? Yes. Would they potentially ruin cymbals? It depends on many factors, some mentioned above. A beefier stick does the work for you - you don't have to play as hard. Hope this helps.
@@memphisdrumshop The wooden sticks are most likely to be first choice for the majority of drummers for cost and being what they know. However it would be interesting to know if there was demand for such. Thanks Rob.
@@RobsCars Carbon sticks last 6-10 times longer than wooden sticks and cost almost the same price, just a bit more expensive but is worth it. Let´s say, 7 pairs of wood sticks might be around 150$ while one pair of carbon fiber might be around 35$, so, in the end is also cost effective if you pay attention to the big picture. Have a nice day Rob. :)
The stick was a huge fail 😂 the price was a joke. I don’t know if you know that but there were and are Carbon Fiber sticks from Germany. Vic Firth wasn’t the innovator. The Carbon sticks you can get here are around 30 Euro, sometimes you can get them for 22 Euro. They look and feel like the Vic Firth ones. Vic Firth just have copied them. This sticks are on the market here since the early 2000s.
I just want to know if this sticks have the same issues that the Ahead (they break cymbals, and the tips just doesn't stay in place) also the sound, are they really close to the wood?
They shouldnt. Ahead sticks not only have a nylon tip but do not give room for much "give". These will still absorb impact like wooden sticks and as long as you are using proper cymbal hitting technique and not driving through the cymbal. All should be a'ok
These seem cool but honestly the price just seems way too ridiculous. Almost $50 just for one pair? Even if they are more durable and consistent than wood sticks I still don't really see them doing too well in the market. Just my opinion though.
The grip is not slippery in our opinion. Durability is what these are all about. They are definitely going to be more durable than a hickory stick.

Awesome! You think pro-mark might be thinking of making their own version?
do these leave marks on the heads or cymbals?
How does it feel? Is it way different than other carbon fiber stick brands?
Vic Firth made the first move. Only time will tell if Pro-Mark will make a counter move. Thanks for watching!

@@ayjay359What brand is that?

No, Ben, I can THAT EXACT PAIR only at Memphis Drum Shop! ;)
Do they have these in a 5A size?
If only they had nylon tips.....
Carbon fiber ones sound just a hair of a pitch higher that the wood. Sounds good though.
Do a review on ahead drum sticks
do any sticks make cymbals sound softer? like, not multi rods or brushes, actual sticks that are quieter. chop outs being the exception here.
I would say that lighter wood should sound softer! so look for drumsticks made of softer/lighter wood!
Smoothness ...
on which you are playing cymbals in this video?

Wood sticks all day long for me and Vater over Vic Firth
prefer wood sticks!
¿Si son buenas?
Do they break very easily?
no its the whole point of them, very durable. they are unfortunately very expensive (in terms of sticks).

Ahead??
I'm Luke Snyder.
For the love of God please stuff the bass drum with at least a pillow it sounds horrid in every memphisdrumshop demo test
In your opinion. I think it sounds great. Not like he's playing a quilt.
That sounds more like mic choice, not muffling. With that said, it sounds great, in my opinion, as well.
Sounds good.
nope
