Have bought these brand sticks many times before. The last well and sound good. The purchase from Sam Ashe went well, delivered quickly.

I have owned 2 pairs of these drumsticks. If you use cymbal stands with short boom arms and need to be able to reach out to your cymbals a little further (and if your grip can handle it), and you are seated a few(er) inches away from your snare, toms, and kick drums, these sticks are for you. If you are not so far away but can still handle the grip, stick with the standard 5B (I learned this the hard way when I owned the X5BN's). Otherwise, they are very good sticks. I would recommend them to not only my friends but other fellow drummers.

I previously used the ahead drumsticks that were supposeively unbreakable and great but within 5 months noticed something was wrong with one of em took the cover off and saw that the core was broken in half so dont get those cause their garbage.... i got these the next day and i am happy i did a perfect fix very comfotable and inexspensive for the quality (Under 10 dollars).
