Shipped to you in a single box. LA Special Drumsticks are the perfect option for the budget conscious drummer. These American hickory drumsticks are paired by size and profile, but are not weight or pitch matched. Some pairs may contain visual and structural defects. Review: Love these sticks. Needed the nylon tips as I am using them on DB one mesh heads. I will be purchasing more Review: First of all, I'm a pro drummer and sound engineer. I work 6-7 shows a week. I've had all kinds of sticks, but hadn't bought some in awhile. I play with a very laidback grip, all the way to the back; studied Weckl's Evolution DVD as well Todd Sucherman's extensively regarding the use of rebound, plus many years of military rudimental technique. Studied in college, went to several clinics, the whole shebang... you get it. Quite simply put, those are the best sticks I have ever tried for how my hands have developed after 20 years and how I play now - which is different for everyone of course. "LA special" is a GREAT name : Those are made for a laid-back, LA backbeat type of technique. There is a LOT of rebound, more so than just about other stick I ever tried in my life, so if you use Moeller technique at all (picking up with the wrist up motion between every hit), those are NOT for you. However, if you grip way back on 'em sticks and hit hard and solidly whip your snare every 2's and 4's, they are for you. Those are 5B's, which should fit most drummers. In my experience, diameter is overrated. Anyone with human-sized fingers can play from 7A to a little above that. Balance point - which on those sticks, is lower than most - is most important for where you grip (just below it is ideal, but not more than twice your grip fingers width I'd reckon). This is perfect for me. They are light medium-ish in weight; I haven't weighed them. I guess it's on the specs. I hit drums with those things. I don't care that the finish isn't even. The logo is looking really good. Most importantly tho, they *sound* really good. Real hardwood, harder than most. Give me an almost nylon tip sound in my cymbal - I finally get THE ride sound I always coveted. Very very crispm, brighten up a dark cymbal, helps cutting through a rock band if you have jazz cymbals because you're a snob like me. On top of ALL that, they cost like one third of any other pair or something. No more worrying about running out of sticks. The only thing I don't like is the absence of Promark logo. Those are EXCELLENT sticks. They should be proud. ## Features - BEST SELLING: LA Specials 5B hickory drumsticks are 16” long with a .590” diameter.
