Personally I think Zildjian is the worst maybe not though. Iuse Vic Firth Hickory sticks. But I dont really know much about sticks.

Zildjian should stick to what they do best: making cymbals. Their sticks are horrible, especially the Travis Barker model (unless you want to streak your drumheads and cymbals with white paint residue, in which case they're right up your alley). Pro-Mark has some good stick designs, but their quality control sucks a big one. Their pairs are always mismatched and warped.

In Zildjian's home I like the "Horacio Hernandez signature"...but is very impossible find the same weight in 3 pairs of stick...the quality is very rubbish...but I like the sound for jazz situation...

least favorite stick for me is Zildjian 5As or 5Bs, i have had the worst experence with zildjian sticks and i have tried many

Bought a pack two pairs of pro mark 5A nylon tips and I swear I will never use those again that felt like the wood wasn't really wood and then I was convinced it wasn't when it broke on a clean break within a week of playing.

Vic Firth 5A with nylon tips on the other hand are my favorite.

I've never found a Pro Mark Stick I like. Too much shock, especially the oak ones. I'd have to agree with not liking oak.

+1 here!
promark's are terrible. The weighting drives me nuts.
