Best for reach and fast playing styles

Io De Capitate 04.06.2026

If your technique is dialed in and you want the extra length and less weight in your hands while playing, these is a must try. When it comes to fast styles of music and maybe you have a bigger kit containing a range of different cymbals, maybe an SPD-SX/pro, these sticks will reach every object and are an absolute joy to play with. That being said, different styles of music often needs different kind of sticks. That's a given. But i range from funk, metal, rock, and in general the pocket keeper, I'm satisfied and so are my colleagues.

Finally the sticks I was looking for

Polly and the Jester 14.07.2025

I've long been trying to find the ultimate sticks, and after buying a load of different ones over the years these are the ones (for me). I drum in a rock band so plenty of rimshots and heavy hitting and these sticks can take it. I like the weight and balance, and the length feels exactly right. I've also used them for some fairly basic jazz gigs and could control the lower volume very well (that is, if I could temper my enthusiasm as well, but that's on me ;))

Tino_ 02.07.2020

Hatte vor zwei Jahren immer nur 5A sticks, jedoch sind die echt schnell kaputt gegangen und waren mir zu kurz und zu fett.
Ein erfahrener Freund hat mir dann die X8D empfohlen, welche ich bis dato nutze. Sie sind dünn, leicht und schön lang. Perfekt für mich.
Sie sind vielfältig einsetzbar (spiele Rock und in einer Big Band) und haben bei mir locker 2,3 Monate bei fast täglicher Benutzung (1 Stunde) gehalten. Irgendwann ist der Kopf zur Hälfte abgebrochen, was die felle beschädigt.
Schade dass es sie nicht in einem bundle gibt :(

Sonst sind sie nur weiter zu empfehlen!!!

Bonne qualité

J'ai remplacé mes Vater 7A que je trouvais un peu courtes par celle-ci .
Elles ont le même diamètre avec 13 mm de plus en longueur pour 8 g de plus en poids ...Parfait !
Bien usinées et bien équilibrées.
