I wanted to know how they feel? Do they break Easily?

Ive been playing with Mike Portnoy Sigs for a year now, and neail Peart sigs for a week. And the mike portnoy to me are the best so far. I was goign to buy a pair of chris adler sticks online, but they were out of stock and it would have taken along time till i got them so i figured i would just ask around lol.

i did! they were'nt bad, a 5A with a beefier tip, i found them to be a little light but i like a little heavier stick anyway, myself i have just settled on Mr.Peart's sticks - 747 Oak's.
Pro-mark's are a solid stick, i really like their oak's personally, but like the other guys Pro-mark has plenty of different sticks to play!

Used the Chris Adler's last year for a couple of gigs, they feel nice but aren't really sutible for hard rock drumming, your having to use twice as much energy to hit your drums because they are so light. If your doing fast metal they probably do the job but for rock drumming I always go for a 2B, just my preference.

not sure if your looking for a similar stick compared to Adler's, but i just found the Vater 'Power 5A' ( 16.5" / .580 / barrel tip ) and they are excellent! nice 5A feel in the hand with a slightly top heavy feel, a little extra weight at the tip just where i wanted it, if your still looking give them a try!
