The Right Stick!

"The AJ5 has been my favorite model since it was introduced (see "The Right Stick" in my book The Human Drummer). I wish it were available with a small round wood tip, inspired by the American Sound series, but I'm happy with the AJ5 as it is. Thanks again!"

Very nice, thin stick, but I wish they were shorter and available with nylon tips

"I was looking for extremely light sticks, like the 7A from Regal Tip or Pro Mark, for playing at lower volume. Unfortunately these are much longer, and even though they are thinner, they are still heavier than what I wanted. I would prefer if they were a bit shorter, and also available with nylon tips."

Modern versatility with light vintage feel.

"Slim design and balance make these my go to sticks. They give me the classic light feel of the vintage ‘Pencil’ sticks of the 50’s and 60’s. Not lacking in dynamic range they can play loud with marvelous tone."

Best sticks ever for me now that I am older

A Great Stick for Subtle Playing

"This is a fantastic stick for quieter playing. The tone is fantastic and you can really get a great rebound."

— Damien (5/5)

I love these sticks

"I mainly play rock/metal so using these for jazz I can easily control my dynamics better without over playing."

— Andrew S. (5/5)

More Versatile Than You'd Think.

"I first purchased these sticks so that I could work on rudiment speed quietly, so I wouldn't drive my wife up a wall. But nearly immediately, these became my favorite sticks. Beyond jazz, these work really well with breakbeats, or frankly anyone that's looking for definition, but coupled with really fantastic finger feel."
