These are my go to sticks but due to the pricing i had to look for an alternative. They are definitely lighter in weight than any of my other sticks but i like the nylon tips.

Vic firth 5a model is as close to perfect as it gets for all around drumming versatility. Easy to grip, good for any level of drumming experience, and are durable. These are very slim so they are easy to use for traditional grip aswell as match grip.

These are so lightweight and sturdy. They feel good in my hands and are a great weight. Perfect length and thickness. We have another pair that came with the bell kit, but they are much heavier.

Best quality for the price. Crisp, loud, clear. Nice wood tip sounds in my ride and bell. Best wood ever.

Broke 3 pairs in less than 2 weeks of modest drumming activity.

Not cool, but not worth the hassle of returning. They seem like a knock off to me. While the pitch difference usually doesn't make too much of a difference on drums, i'm still disappointed to get a poor match from a name i've trusted.
