So these are 7A's, with a kick ass signature.
Needed a good option for metal drumming and since I was breaking most wood sticks I chose by accident to get those, while wanting some carbon fiber ones and since they don't ost as much and can be fixed if broken or anything at all, it was a viable option!!
Sound depends mostly on the tips you use with them and they have for me at least great balance.
Most reviews are saying that they break your heads or cymbals but that has not been an issue since technique matters in drumming!
I have had for 2 months now and they haven't cracked or anything, just getting a bit smashed on the front from rim shots,which to be honest they don't excel at, but everything is interchangable so it does not matter that much,even if you have a low budget!
I totally recommend those for drummers having issues with sticks breaking on them on like the fifth time playing or so, or for people needing something trustworthy and most of all worth the money the spend on!!! ( using worth, way too much here)
I am in love with them
