Good for the price
Anonymous 28.06.2016
At the price Thomann do them at it is a good way to get a half decent stick so you can try out different weights and tips etc. Always handy to push over the free shipping limit as well.

Nova sticks are rejected Vic Firth standards. They've failed quality control in some minor way, usually weight, shape, grain and thus balance. It doesn't mean they make poor sticks however sometimes the Millenium ones are a genuinely nice stick for less money without the potential quality control issues having been sold sight unseen.

Great budget product.
Ryan B. 10.07.2014
These are the cheap option when getting Vic Firth sticks and because of this they get a lot of criticism from drummers using more expensive sticks. I however find them to be brilliant and last longer than most other cheaper sticks, I have frequently used these touring and come back with many unused sticks. They do tend to chip slightly easier than the more expensive models but I would say these are a surprisingly good product for the cheap price and will definitely be buying them again. Great price from Thomann to.

Best bang for the buck

These are my go-to sticks I use when rehearsing and playing live. They feel great - not too rough or slippery. These sticks are reasonably balanced and the weight is not too light, which I prefer.

From what I have experienced, these sticks are just as durable as higher-priced drumsticks. I have had issues with sticks breaking in the past, which is probably connected to my subpar playing technique. Now although these sticks are quite cheap, they last relatively long compared to other models.

In general, I find these sticks to be the best with regards to their price. I would suggest there is nothing better in this price range.

A cheap substitute for the American Classics
Dylan Z 10.02.2016
These were half the price and made by the same company as the American Classics, so I thought I'd give them a go. Not bad, but not as good as the more pricey alternative.

Slightly worse balance, different tip shape (that's just down to preference), and slightly worse wood quality.

Still, very, very good sticks considering the price, I use a pair for when I'm practicing off the kit.

Cheap & Fair
Anonymous 25.05.2014
Not exactly the best quality, but for the price they are more than okay! They're not as heavy as their more expensive counterparts, and they chip a bit more easily, but I've played with them live & in practice and a 12-pack lasted me a bit more than a year. All in all, a surprisingly good product for the price.
