Nice rods for the prize
Easy to play, light, responsive. You can't do big dynamics with them though. they sound good on hats and snare, but pretty bad on toms and cymbals. I find it really hard to lead on ride cymbals because the volume they produce is really low (I have the 18" and 22" AAX omni).
The two red bands that hold each rod together slip easily after playing them for a while. If you are more of a hard hitter and you naturally swing your hands more you will often find yourself looking for these red bands on the floor around the kit.
The quality of the rods is good, I thought they would shatter easily, but they are holding up quite well after several months of usage. they chip on the top edges a bit, but that is well expected.
Overall, I would say, if you haven't played with rods and you want to buy a cheap pair for the first time, these are a good starting point. Also, if you don't often have to play quiet gigs, you can rely on these.

Nice but don't last
The rubber sleeves that hold the bundles together fly off too easily. I replace them with simple rubber bands which work much better.

Brilliant built quality
Great product at great price.
Playing with these on your acoustic drumkit produces low sound level to match other acoustic instruments when playing on bands where amplification is not offered.

good quality sticks if you want a slightly quieter attack on the drums. i have seen other brands fall apart quite quickly but these are holding up well after about ten months of use. the sliding bands help to tune the impact of the stick.

Lowers the volume
Sticks that works well and reduces the volume considerably. Like all this this type of floppy rods the play have to be a bit adopted. It is not possible to produce perfect drumroles since the bounce of the stick is prohibited by the construction. A very useful tool to a very affordable price!

Used for quite drums
I use these for practice with the band. They are quite durable and the sound is lessened quite a bit. Also, they are durable enough that it's not a two-weekly change of sticks.
The rubber rings do slide up after a while of playing, so sometimes they fly off.
Good value for money though

Great sounding solid sticks
I run a youth centre with a music room in it and these sticks are great for keeping the noise down. Despite being well used and abused these sticks are lasting far longer than expected!

Can't fault them
These do what they promise. I'm not a fan of hot rods but when it needs to be quieter it needs to be quieter. These will help you achieve that.
