I like a good clean sound on my cymbals, and these gave me that sound. Though it was subtle, I was comparing the sound with my other 5A sticks, and I liked the Promark better. I felt like I got a bit more articulation than my other 5A's. These are just fantastic all around sticks! I couldn't be happier.
- on my first order, this turned me into a fan of pro mark and thought they were the best thing - they may still be, i'm not sure, but on my second order the sticks look drastically different, the paint color is a darker green, the wood tip shape is different, the end of the barrel is shaped differently, the wood weight feels cheap/broken on the inside (not the quality you need for decent drumsticks) - photos are of the two separate orders side by side, notice how the shape varies - combined with the other comments experiencing the same 'FAKE' sticks i've got to say i do not trust amazon one bit at this point. they were sold directly from amazon, not a third party, and i've had a hunch on this with various items over the years (that amazon sells fake/lookalike goods) in even the most mundane categories. is it time to end my prime membership for good? jeez.
---------------------------------------------
exactly what i was looking for - they are truly unfinished and have a nice grip to them and nice cymbal feel at all volumes. i've played with a lot of sticks and these are right up there

*Update* 10/11/2013
I contacted promark and informed them that I believed I received fake sticks. I never asked for replacements but they offered them and are sending me two more pairs than I purchased. I will be sending the junk sticks back to promark in anticipation of an explanation. Based on promark's customer service I won't be afraid to purchase their products in the future.
