I've been playing for over 40 years and have gone through a LOT of drumsticks over the years. I decided to try two pair of Scorpion Immortal sticks, the 2B and 5B. The wood is great quality and dense, which I love, because the sticks tend to last longer. Most importantly, they have a great balance and feel to them. I ended up using the 5Bs more than the 2Bs, but, Scorpion, if you're listening, it would be awesome to try a size in between these models. hint hint :)
