Are drum sticks made by Sound Percussion Labs worth it? Or is it a matter of you get what you pay for (i.e., are they too cheap to be worth it)? Let's do a deep dive of this by looking at 6 pairs of the SP Drumsticks, all size 5a. Like most sticks, these are made from Hickory. Unlike your big name brand sticks, these "budget" sticks are likely "seconds" (likely made by one of the big name manufacturers). In this music gear product review, I'll discuss all aspects of these Sound Percussion drumsticks, including: * the stick specs compared to competitors such as Vic Firth, and Promark and Vater * close up roll tests so you can see if the sticks are cut strait * weight matching tests * damage tests see how long it takes for them to chip * and some samples so you can hear how they sound compares to other brands, and see if they are pitch matched.

Very thorough 🤘
SPL is hit or miss (pun intended). The hardware can be good in a pinch but I've never liked their sticks.
