Vic Firth 2BN Nova Hickory Nylon Tip

2 years ago I tried for the first time these pair of sticks and I felt in love with them. In my opinion, the quality/price of this item is quite high and abosolutely not comparable with other bands.

They are well balanced, long-lasting and perfectely suited for rock/heavy metal drumming since they are heavy enough. Despite this I never damaged any cymbal using them.
Furthermore, the sound that cames out from the nylon tip is well defined.

I would recommend them to anybody who is searching for an economic but good-quality sticks.

This is brand of Vic Firth, and I must say, I'm quite disappointed. While the quality of the wood and craftsmanship is commendable, the sticks themselves are woefully unbalanced. There's a noticeable difference in weight between the two, which translates into an uneven sound when striking a practice pad. This inconsistency renders them unplayable for me, and I'm afraid I'll be steering clear of this brand in the future.

Didn't last that long, but i guess it also depends on the musician himself.
Overall, i'd say its ok for that price.

I use these heavy sticks for warming up with rudiments and whatnot. Heavy, sturdy and overall good quality
