Tama 5A-S Oak Japanese Skull -NT

I’ve been using those sticks for some time now and really like them. They are suitable for drummers who find regular 5A stick a bit light but don’t wanna use 5B. Because of the density of the oak they feel a bit heavier. Also they are forward balanced which helps with the attack. I find them more durable than their hickory counterparts as well. Great sticks overall.

I really liked the design. It is not light, but the wood carving was very comfortable for the hands
Although its weight is not light, the existing drawing, 10/ 10 I did not expect that the Japanese brand could excel with these capabilities.

Basic pair, nothing special. Maybe good for a present for kids. I really wanted to try the material. There is some difference but nothing essential.
