Hornet Sticks anyone?

[ShaysRebellion]

I came across these on musicians friend, and they look pretty cool, but the design seems reasonable. Has anyone used these before? how do they work? Thanks :)

That was my thoughts then and now. I dig 'em but I've also bought my last of 'em. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze in long run for me.

haha...exactly!

i had a pair of them once...it wasnt me...i thought that they were weird, and that they felt awkward in my hands...my hands did not approve. haha!

I bought a pair of 5As and 5Bs.

The 5As are quick and with a round full tip they sound good. A nice quick stick. The grip on the smaller diameter sticks is less pronounced and was easier to get used to.

I don't like the feel of the 5Bs.

The mallet side is cool and I like doing cymbal swells with them. The 5As seem more balanced whereas the 5Bs feel heavier in the butt.

They're pretty durable. I've bashed away with these many times and they're not too worn at all.

I wonder how these work if you switch grips ie: Matched versus traditional? German versus French? Live versus Memorex?

It seems like they COULD be nice for matched...maybe not so nice on traditional?
