Zildjian Travis Barker Artist Series Drumsticks

Die besten drumsticks die ich je hatte. Zwar hinterlassen sie weiße Stippen auf den Becken aber das ist bei weißer Lackierung normal.

I can seriously only have these sticks in my entire collection. Very solid, nice weight, a tab bit longer in length which I love, and just overall an amazing stick. Puts out a great sound on impact. I wish they made this EXACT stick in different colors.

Seriously one of the best sticks I've ever played... I've been playing for around 40 years and this stick does everything, could be played in any genre, could be played with finesse but bash just as easily... I'm a professional who plays a lot of different styles and the problem I was having was finding a stick that could handle everything.... I seriously found the stick that can play and do everything.

I bought this as a present for my brother in law who used to drum all the time, he's recently got a new job that's very demanding so he doesn't have a chance to do it anymore. I bought the sticks mainly because I wanted to inspire him to play drums again (which is working as he's finding a practise space) and I specifically bought the Travis Barker ones because he's a MASSIVE fan of him and he used to own several pairs of the black ones until they got ruined from getting playing with so much

I've been drumming for over 40 years, and am an accomplished non-pro. While I've made money playing - it's not my day job. For most of those 40 years - I played Promark 5B's - a very -popular and high-quality stick. I thought I loved them. But a pair of these Zildjian TB's appeared in my stick bag one day - I think they came with a pile of stuff I bought from my buddy when he quit drumming to focus on playing "the stick". I tried them out and was shocked by the weight difference. Not only are they longer and heavier than the 5B's - the weight is biased much more forward toward the shoulder of the stick. The bounce and control I suddenly had was amazing. And the weight made my timing more accurate. For the first time in my career I was consistently burying the metronome (playing so "in the pocket" that you never hear the click track). This is just one players experience and this review is as much about the transformation a DIFFERENT stick had for my playing - than about the stick itself - but I urge you to try these as soon as you can - just in case the same benefits appear for you. As for the actual stick - the pair I got were within ONE gram of each other at 63 and 64 grams - and totally straight. They are slightly HEAVIER than the original pair I got from my buddy and that was easily 10 years ago - so they aren't scrimping on the wood. The white ones have an odd - but possibly useful slight texture to them - my older black ones are smooth. Yes the fancy, but poorly applied shiny logo paint will fade off if you play them long enough - but that just makes them all "rock and roll". ; ) No clue about longevity yet - but these will only play a V-drums kit for the foreseeable future and so no cymbals means infinite life - likely. Highly recommended.
