3drumsticks - 5B Drumsticks (3-Pack) - Natural

Many musicians are sticklers. I am one of them. I have been playing (or HAD been playing) the same drumsticks for about 14 years or so. I recently had a birthday and my beloved wife got me a nice surprise, some NEW STICKS! She got my "regulars" and some new sticks by DW which come in three stick packs instead of a usual 2 pack. I didn't know what to think of them at first, but I have weekly gigs and took them along to my most recent and WOW is all I can say. They hold up remarkably well. I play in a cover/original band that plays all styles of music, from heavy to jazz and the DW 3's were up to the task all night. The sounds coming off my ride cymbal bell were real bright and in your face. Another cool aspect of these sticks is the nice sound they make when you play a cross-stick pattern on your rims. Real nice clean note, without having to hit the rim real hard. The acorn tip, 5B's are the models I have been using and I am very, very impressed and have a new "standard" stick - I am that happy with these sticks. I recommend to all drummers of all styles and skill levels to try these out. You will not be disappointed.
