Probably more wood content in the packaging than in the sticks.
I trust the sticks made it to you OK. It would be too ironic if the sticks slipped out in transit and got lost or broken.
I had a similar experience with Amazon. At least they play it safe.
A nice big box.
Lots of packaging for safety.
Ah. That'll be the snare wires then!
Yep, the sticks are the ones pictured just next to the box at the bottom. They are Vic Firth Corpmaster Ralph Hardimon, and I'm very much enjoying them. Very big and meaty, but still don't warrant that packaging!
Wow! And I thought I used big sticks.
