They build drums too.
I wonder if you can do a decent buzz roll with them...Saw someone play a small venue with these sticks and went out and got a pair. Played them last night at practice and I was very pleased with them. Allowed me to play and hear in my practice space. I am thinking that I could play them in my acoustic band with a kit instead of the percussion I use now. I wouldn't use them for a medium or large venue.

Not these exact ones but I've used the Lidwish ones which are basically the same concept. http://www.lidwishsoulutions.com/Has anyone tried these?
I’m just wondering about buzz rolls. I’ve never seen low-volume sticks that let you play buzz rolls well.Not these exact ones but I've used the Lidwish ones which are basically the same concept. http://www.lidwishsoulutions.com/
Great for when you REALLY need to keep quiet on the drums but I've only ever used them on an e-kit where I have the option to dial the sensitivity of the pads right up if I need to (not sure how they would go with an a-kit).
Obviously they're very light so I'd imagine it would make buzz rolls difficult because you don't have the same amount of rebound you get with a wooden stick. The tips are also not solid (more like a loop of plastic) which wouldn't help either...I’m just wondering about buzz rolls. I’ve never seen low-volume sticks that let you play buzz rolls well.
Once again, low-volume sticks fail to outdo the good old Vic Firth Echo sticks that have been around since the 80s.Obviously they're very light so I'd imagine it would make buzz rolls difficult because you don't have the same amount of rebound you get with a wooden stick.

Had to google those but yeah, they would definitely do buzz rolls better than the low volumes but would also be louder.Once again, low-volume sticks fail to outdo the good old Vic Firth Echo sticks that have been around since the 80s.
I have an orchestral background. Keeping volume down is never a problem.Had to google those but yeah, they would definitely do buzz rolls better than the low volumes but would also be louder.
Comes down to which is more important to you, decent technique or keeping the volume down?
