Tama 5AN Oak Japanese Sticks

Tama Oak sticks are probably the best sticks around as far as price to quality goes. One pair lasts much longer than a triple pack of hickory from such big brands like Vic Firth or a ten pack from no name. The weight is good the feel is exceptional and rebound is great. I normally use the tipped ones as these last even longer owing to the wooden tips starting to crumble after hard sessions.

Recommend these, the tip is pretty firmly in place and they're nice to use

Worked great with my Roland TD-07, worked just as well with Yamaha Stage Custom/

To be honest I was a little worried that plastic tips may break but... Nothing really happened. The wood itself, also barely any scratches.

Tama brand has definitely boosted their position in my eyes.

As for Thomann? Perfect as always/
