Vic Firth CMN American Classic Hickory

Pros:
These sticks really took me by surprise, the feel and response is lovely, and its easy to maintain a relaxed high speed with them.
(Fast singlestrokes, blastbeats etc)
Also, the weight and nylon tip really works good on the ride.
I just love how they feel in the hands, they seem incredibly balanced and precise to play with.
I usually never get this excited over a new pair of sticks.

Cons:
Hard to be negative with these sticks, but they are quite big and heavy, they might be a bit rough on the drum heads, perhaps?
