I do a lot of blast beats in my music and i was wondering what are some good light sticks.I'm thinking the Chris Adler signatures but i don't know.
 
Vic Firth 5A nylon tip. Not too heavy but quite strong and the nylon tip will give you a sharper ping off your cymbals.

Also, a good stick test I got shown a little while ago is: once you've chosen the weight and brand you want, pick out a few pairs and tap them on a hard surface - the ones that produce a higher pitch noise/tap are denser and will supposedly last better.
 
I'd recommend the Danny Carey vic firth sig. It is weighted in the back allowing for faster and easier blasting.

I do a lot of blasting myself.

The Chris Adler sticks sound pretty much perfect for me in this case if you want light sticks for fast playing. However i would imagine if you got 5As they'd still be light but you might benifit from the extra leverege of that length.
