ProMark Scott Johnson Hickory Signature Marching Snare Drum Sticks - FireGrain For Playing Harder, Longer - No Excess Vibration - Lacquer Finish, Large Round Tip, Hickory Wood - 1 Pair

I am in my fourth year of marching band and I bought this stick my 8th grade year and loved it. Fits perfect in your hands, sounds wonderful, looks nice. I even had my band buy them for my snare line this year. Totally recommend

If these sticks are good enough for one of the best drum lines to ever hit the field and required for use by one of the best instructors in the world, they are good enough for me.I am old DCI drummer and still love to throw down notes. Having a great pair of sticks is just as important to effective application of technique as the drummer is himself. Sticks are the tools we use to make our instruments work.The DC-17 is a slightly less beefy stick then its brother the DC-50. It provides excellent response and is excellently weighted. The stick is a marching drum stick. It is not for use on a drum set. If you are looking for a well-balanced, well-weighted marching stick that offers the player great rebound, the ability to play with massive down stroke as well finesse, SCOJO's DC-17 stick is for you. For the young rudimentalist percussionist, this stick will require some good chops to use but the great thing about this stick is that by using it, you will develop your chops. Win-Win!! Order a few pairs. At $7.00, you need a couple of pairs of these sitting around the house to use when your buddies come over and you want to rehash your favorite licks from previous halftime shows, DCI shows, or WGI.Great job Promark and Scott Johnson.

I am the drum captain at my school an these are probably the best marching sticks I've used. They are a little heavy but that helps with stick control. They feel very solid and have great weight distribution. These will be the sicks used for my ffcc snare line

Works well. Great gift and worth the money

They were easy to tape and they lasted a long time

For Christmas I bought my son 7 different pairs of drum sticks to sample. He is a snare drummer in marching band and up to this point hand used almost exclusively the Vic Firth Ralph Hardimon Signature Corp Master. That was the stick his Jr High teacher insisted on and is a great stick, but I wanted him to experience others.This stick is his favorite out of the group for sound. It was his choice to play his recent solo on, that is taking him to regional competition. He has insisted that he will need another pair of these for regional competition.These are not as strong as some of the others in the group and are showing signs of wear in this short time, hence the reason a new pair is needed. While I wouldn't recommend this as a great practice stick it is a good performer. Thankfully the price is low, so buy two pair.

I like the weight and balance

I purchased the scooter sticks, they have an INCREDIBLE weight, feel, and sound to them. I previously used innovative sticks, and I'm never going back. Ive used these sticks so much because they're literally just so fun to play with. It took about a day or two to get used to, because the weight distribution is different than what I was used to(they're more middle weighted. very nicely) But once I got used to them I've found it very difficult to put them down.
