Tama 7A-F Oak Japanese Fire -NT

A touch heavier than hickory (as far as I can tell) this allows you to 'dig in' and play a little heavier than 7A sticks normally allow without unduly changing your technique, which makes them more versatile and don't have to switch to 5A for the slightly harder-hitting songs! Recommended

Used with a Tama Drumset and Zildjian Cymbals. I play different modern styles and a bit of jazz.

Pros: After many years of trying different sticks,this combo of light sticks + solid wood makes the perfect combination for me - very versatile, non fatiguing, good definition on the attack when needed. On top of this, the flame design which in my opinion is beautiful! Available with a plain design if needed.

Cons: None

Kept breaking sticks on my vintage hi-hats, but these are seriously durable. Used other major brands and none hold up as good as these.
Really excellent sticks. Won't use anything else now.

I'm drummer in local band. Playing at bars and clubs once, twice a month. Have been using these drumsticks more than a year. Never let me down. Quality is perfect, both tone and weight matching. Long lasting drumsticks. I'll always go for these.
