Black Mountain BMP-AST2 Asteroid Pick 2er Pac

I got the picks home and me and my buddy checked them out because at the time we thought they'd be awsome to play with.
But, the only grip i could get on the pick was on the 3 metal rings in the middle.
5 minutes into playing, after trying all sides of the pick it just started slipping out of my hand out of the slightest amount of moisture and it was just pretty fragile and thin.
The dissapointing quality, the size and the grip of the picks made it unplayable. I though it would like the size of an Triangle Bass pick, but no...

Then i gave the pick away to the friend who originally bought a pair with me just because we though it would be a nice gimmik. We paid around 15 dollar for the picks that were in most situatons, pretty useless.

Other peoples opinions may differ, but for me, 15 dollars could have gotten a higher quantity of better picks for overall usage, whether for strumming, plucking or shreddingggggg :)

I often find I need a lighter pick for strumming an acoustic rhythm part but I do not like the tone or feel of a light pick for lead playing, so I decided to try this pick. I am glad I did. The guages and shape of each side of the pick are perfect for me. The blue side is flexible and gives a bright sound and a light resistance which facilitates fast rhythm guitar parts. The black side has a sharp tip and is perfect for precise speed picking. The red side is slightly more rounded and yields a warm deep tone which I find excellent for acoustic lead playing. The rivets that hold it together add to the grip and it feels comfortable in the hand- even though I am accustomed to a smaller pick I have not dropped it once. Also the bright contrasting colours ought to make it easy to find if dropped. I have not had it long enough to rate it properly for durability but it seems well built and made of quality material. I will be using these from now on.

Black Mountain have become my standard thumb pick, and I want to try something else from them. These flat picks are unique and I think everyone should try them. Particularly good if you need to go between fast accompaniment strumming and cutting lead. I've used mine mostly on acoustic, I imagine they've be good on electric as well.

The difference in tone is truly striking, and the constructions is really justified, the different materials will not only affect the sound, but also influence your playing.
