This is unbalanced, unpainted, quite irregularly manufactured woods. By the very low weight one must make when it comes to rebound qualities smears. In terms of durability too. Very quickly, deep scratches and chips found in the timber. A dedicated Metal Drummer could bring these things within a song about the route. In my case, that bothers me the feel with their dull feeling just a little.
The above precludes an unbeatable price. Something can enhance these sticks by placing them closely and wrinkle-free wrapped with transparent tape to the constriction point. This improves the feel, weight and durability.
