Millenium 5A Maple Drumsticks -Wood-

As a beginner drummer. I often found that the heavier sticks and the really light ones would impair my ability to play for longer practice sessions. I actually already have 5A drumsticks, which, if you don't know, are the middle ground of drumsticks in terms of weight. But I never used drumsticks made from maple wood. They're actually that little bit lighter! and are the perfect weight for me. I've been using these for a couple weeks now, and my arms don't give out because they aren't heavy at all, but they're also not flying out of my hands because they're too light. If you're struggling to find your perfect stick and haven't tried maple wood, I totally recommend it.

after paying the several times this price for other brands of sticks i'm glad i yet again found thomann does an alternative thats as good but at a far lower cost.

So far had none break, (i dont hit perticularly hard but i've broken sticks in the past) they chip out when playing them like an idiot on the hi hat as i some times do, just as any drum stick does but for this price i can make some cheap sawdust out of these and not have to worry about it so much. I've used other cheap drum sticks in the past that proke, tips break off, tispa nd parts of the shaft break off. Shafts crack. So far none of these have done the same.

Would recomend them.

I use 7A sticks and was looking to convert up to 5A for certain music styles that require a bit more "beef" but i wanted the weight just above my 7A's but a tad more girth which is why i chose the Maple wood, less mass than say oak or hickory.

At this price its easy to try types out in the knowledge that if you have erred it isn't going to be a big cost factor.

I have to say the quality is good and the stick is not warped or poorly lathed/finished. I'm happy with them and why wouldn't i be? All of my hardware from stands to rack to pedals is/are Millenium.

Hi! My name is Noy and I'm 9 years old, I'm just starting to learn how to play the drums.

My parents just bought me these Drumsticks, and when I hold them, they feel light and smooth, which makes it easy for me to play the drums.

Also, I love practicing with them on my drum pad because they help me play better. My uncle who is a drummer told me that they might not last long if I hit really hard but dad said they're not expensive, so if I need a new pair, it's okay :)

I think these drumsticks are great for kids like me who are learning to play the drums!
