Customer Reviews

Not exactly rubber tipped
Just wanted to point out that these drumsticks aren't exactly rubber tipped - they COME with rubber tips, and the rubber tips are red rather than the white that is the tip color of these sticks.

If you're looking for drumsticks with a cool pattern that say RockBand on them, you'll like these - they're 5A's, btw. Otherwise you can buy rubber tips for your sticks at some online music stores.

Low sound mitigation, and they make it hard to drum properly.
I bought these for someone else, and she doesn't like them very much. They are cute, but they aren't very useful.

She says they make it very difficult to "feel" what's going on with the drums. I'm not a drummer, so I'm not exactly sure what she means by that, but I assume she means the rubber tips make it hard to feel the appropriate vibrations or bounce-back.

They don't mitigate the sound as well as you would hope, either. The rubber tips are supposed to cut down on the noise from drumming, but they really offer very little sound mitigation.

She also says the tips tend to fly off, especially after you've had them for a while and they start to get stretched out.

If you just want some cooler-looking drumsticks, these are probably fine. But I wouldn't buy them thinking they will dull the sound much.

Rock Band Drumsticks
Sticks are great, much sturdier than the set that came with my Guitar Hero drums. Rubber tips stay on, and are quieter and provide better bounce off the heads. Recommended if you need new sticks.
