Best all around Hi hats
I had a set of these that I purchased new back around 1985. They were rock solid, versatile, projecting, and you couldn't do anything to damage these through normal playing. Can't hardly scratch, ding or dent them, let alone crack them. They work in any situation. Like an idiot I sold my pair on Ebay as well as my other Zildjian Avedis cymbals that I purchase with my new Tama Imperial star kit at the time. But it was time to upgrade. I moved toward the Sabian AAX series cymbals, because I bought a used Mapex M birch kit that included a pair of Sabian AAX 13 in. stage hats. I fell in love with them and I now base my whole cymbal set on these hi hats. But the Sabians just don't hold their surface integrity as well as the Zildjians. They scratch and mar easily and hard to wipe down without scratching them and dulling the finish and taking off the logo. But they still sound as good as they always did and structurally, overall, they haven't changed. They are lighter than the Avedis New Beat hi hats. I'd say the top New Beat hi hat is as heavy as the bottom AAX one. The AAX sounds a little shy and shallower, but they are still versatile. I can't still do just as much on them. But I regret selling my Avedis New Beats now.

Good for the right person, just not me.
My personal preference is the only problem with these sticks. They might be fine for someone else. In general, ProMark sticks are good. I have other pairs from them.

These are the best drumsticks possible for the way I play. guaranteed.
1 of 1 found this helpful The only other pair that I ever used consistently from the time I was young was the Calato Regal Tip 5b(at first) then the 2b. Then around 10 years ago, I found these Vic Firth Buddy Rich signature series sticks. Perfect for me. The right balance, weight, just the right amount of shoulder, not an extreme tear drop shape tip and wood type. I can play fast and articulate and with high or low velocity. It doesn't make me work as hard as with the Calato pair I used to use. I have tried various others brands like Pro Mark, Zildjian and others. But I always come back to what works best for me. I can use these in any genre too.
