Pro-Mark LA Special 5AW Drum Sticks - 1 pair

Poerfect for my needs

I don't believe these sticks were cut off the same piece of wood they're completely different colors which means they're different wood or from a different tree. These drum sticks have no mass at all to them. They're made out of hickory why don't they have weight. I will admit they're balanced very well but they're too light in weight garbage will never buy them again

I had read that these were factory seconds, if so, I can`t see it. They appear to be quality hickory sticks that roll straight. Why only 3 stars? If you prefer smaller diameter (1/2") sticks and are just laying down a groove, these may be just the ticket, but if, like me, you play jazz and/or just prefer a more lively action, these sticks are thicker on the shoulder and neck than what I`m accustomed to and just feel too heavy for "fast driving".

Pro: Love the feel, bought for practice but I now use for performance. Great price. bought two pairs.Cons: Not applicable

Ok, I took a chance thinking, "no way this is just one pair of drum sticks". Well, it is. These a factory seconds (hence the LA Series). They usually cost about 1-2 bucks a pair. I figured it must be a package of maybe 5 pairs. Wrong! One pair! Just buy the regular promarks. 7 bucks a pair.

Good value, quality is satisfactory for the price

fast service good quality for good price

The media could not be loaded.  The problem with the LA SPECIAL was that finishing was bad. I got splinters and being a drummer, this is painful. They are heavier towards the tip. The tips are soo brittle , they got damaged by the first hour. Disappointing product by a company like Promark. Depends on type of playing. I'm a hard hitter , metal and rock doesn't last a single song. Jazz and classical might work.(This part of the review was after using them for 2 months)I'm still using them for practice. The tips have small cracks. The neck gets a solid 9/10 for taking all the damages from cymbals. Hasn't broken yet but I try to hit soft now. It's a good product but costly for the price.

Muy buenas baquetas. Vienen barnizadas y aunque la punta tiene alguna pequeña rebaba, es fácil quitarla y ponerse a tocar.La verdad es que no reduce el ruido pero yo las compré para no marcar los pads ya que mis otras baquetas no tenían barniz y se marcaban todos los golpes.Una de las dos tiene un nudo muy oscuro pero bueno, son cosas de la madera.Por ese precio están muy muy bien.

Son para una batería electrónica con parches de malla, la punta de nailon viene muy bien para no dañar los parches, por lo finas que son yo no las recomendaría para una batería acústica.
