Pro Mark 2B Classic Forward H.4pcs Pack

I thought I'd give these cheaper sticks a try as they seemed a decent price (I normally use Vic Firth American Classic 2B). These Promark Classics feel great and do the job. They seem pretty durable too. Really good value. I'll be buying them again.

I've been a Vic Firth player for years, but seeing alot of my favourite drummers switch to Pro-Mark, I've got curious about them.
The first pair I've got from a shop in my hometown, but I fell completely in love with them. They almost don't splinter, feel great in your hand and you can switch every sticks with another without feeling a difference in balance, weight or general feel!
For that money, these are no brainers

All-in-all it's hard to argue that Pro Mark sticks aren't great. The 2B sticks are everything one can expect for - strong, heavy, comfortable in the hand and the perfect length.
But although they can take a good beating and survive for a while - their tips tend to break faster, than what I got used to using the Vater 2B Hickory sticks, and it's a shame. I keep on using them in rehearsals and perhaps jam sessions, but with a damaged head you cannot really go on stage and ping cymbals.
