I wanted to try these brushes for a change from the usual Vic Firth HB - the purple ones - and I feel like snapping accents into the head is more difficult and it doesn't sound as good as with the HB and that is because the handle is made of plastic, which also affects the way these brushes feel in your hands.
The wires are a bit too stiff for me, but I could see other musicians making great use of them. I know for a fact many drummers use them and they sound just great in their hands.

Plastic cover could be tougher
I used them mostly for busking. And when the dynamic goes up, the plastic covers of the brushes tend to snap. Overall sound is good and it is a decent pair of brushes. Also very useful for rudiment practice. If you want a sound that's a bit harder, these are the brushes for you! But try to be careful because they snap pretty easily.

The best of em all.
I use brushes more than I would sticks and I can safely say (having tried just about every brush on the market) that these are the best of em all. The hard plastic handle allows you to get tones on the rims that just aren't possible with the rubber ones, being retractable makes sure you don't end up with mangled up wires and the large triangle at the end allows you to get supper bright sounds on the brass. I used to gig in the Canaries 6 nights a week and I was going through brushes fast until I came across these ones, they really last and can take it if you're playing heavier stuff. I should probably not say on here which ones were the worst but suffice to say, these are what you want from a set of brushes.

great feel
These brushes feel great, creating a nice soft textured sound to allow for great feel and more scope for adding subtle nuances. also sound nice on Hihats and Ride cymbal for a quiet sound.
They come in a cylindrical casing which is great when you're not using them they have a nice safe case to be kept in.
Can't think of any negative points to it, but its Vic Firth so as always great quality and consistency with their products.
If you want that vintage jazz brush sound there is no other that compares to these.

Good quality, but not for me.
First i have to say that Vic Firth always has high standard on quality, so does this product.
I ordered these brushes to start playing jazz music but quickly figured out that the metal stick is not for me. With the wrong technique drumheads can be damaged, and also on cymbals the sound is not ideal. They're also quite heavy which i really don't like.
I would highly recommend Vic Firth HB Heritage Brushes instead, especially for jazz music.
Its rubber stick lie comfortably in the hand, weighs a lot less and creates a great sound while slapping on drumheads or cymbals.

nice brushes but got some bending on the first week
there good brushes great swish sound and loud enough hit off snare so would be good for some pop stuff as well as jazz. the plastic is a little strange in the hand as there is grip on the handle which im not the biggest fan of. I do with they were an bit more durable i got a bend in the first week, but im still using them a year later but will be buying a new pair soon. all in all worth the money.

I have played these for a couple of years, and they are still in great shape!
They are probably a bit of a heavy-guage for most jazz players, but I needed that to get more sound from various drum heads (congas and mondo heads as well as regular coated snare).
These are good quality, and sound great. Jazz players may want to check the diameter as the handles are relatively large.

Decent. Hard to pull out and push in, and mine kinda broke after just a day.
You have to really pull hard on them to retract the brushes, and when I did that, the black plug at the bottom on one of them got pulled out of its socket. I've heard other people encounter this problem, but was still surprised as to how fast it happened. I had only used them for a day. The brushes themselves sound good, and feel good, but the construction and quality could have been a lot better. Not my best buy.
