For my playing style, these sticks are IT! 7a gauge sticks are great for moving around the kit with speed and precision. "Normal" 7a Jazz sticks are too light, and for blast beats the lack of downward inertia causes fatigue. These sticks ARE heavier than your typical Jazz gauge, plus they are very well balanced and the fulcrum (sweet spot)is recessed so you can feel it with your fingers as your playing. If you play any sort blast beat related metal try out a pair, you'll love em!! Just remember they're Jazz sticks, so they will break if you don't know how to "handle" them properly. I typically will break a stick doing rim-shots during breakdowns, under heavy rim-shot conditions I break these sticks at about the same rate as any other name brand Ive ever tried. If your having issues breaking these, or any other stick, get a bottle of wood hardener from the hardware store and soak your sticks in it.

I have bought 4 pairs of these sticks. I thought I just got faulty sticks but I was wrong. These break within 1 month of light use, 2 weeks daily and, a few days if used in a gig. They are very good sticks but, sadly they don't last long.

        Comments about Zildjian Trilok Gurtu Artist Series Signature Drumsticks:

        I love Zildjian sticks! Although after wrist surgery the only sticks I can use painlessly and effortlessly are the Trilok Gurtu signature sticks. It would be awesome if Zildjian could make more sticks with the Gurtu grip and different tips. I thought they were silly when I was younger but now it's the difference in being able to play or not. I've used a lot of grip sticks and there all great in there own right and had I used those to begin with maybe my wrist wouldn't have gotten so bad but the Gurtu sticks are a godsend for my post surgery wrist.

          Amazing Feel

          Comments about Zildjian Trilok Gurtu Artist Series Signature Drumsticks:

          These sticks feel amazing to play with. They have incredible balance and the thinner groove for your fulcrum offers a very different feel than any other stick. I like it because it allows you to play these lighter sticks but maintain a great weight balance. I hate light sticks because I have very large hands and lighter sticks have terrible weight balance for me. But these work very well. My only complaint, and I don't know how common this is or if I just had a faulty pair, is that I broke a stick the second time I played with them, and I only played with them on my electric drum set. Yes, they broke on my electric drum set the second time I played with them. So again, it could have just been a faulty pair. But as for the way these feel to play with, I'd say they're top notch.

          I love these sticks. They are amazing. They are extremely light. The only problem i have is when you first use them, since they are a dark wood, they marked my heads. And the grips are good, Iv never dropped them and they never slid in my hands

          Comments about Zildjian Trilok Gurtu Artist Series Signature Drumsticks:

          You have to buy these sticks, they are simply amazing. When i bought my drumset (used) it came with a pair of these, i didnt use them for a long time since they looked pretty beat up, but once I got into metal, i needed something lighter since they were the lighest pair i had so i started to use them and found out they were extremely well balanced. They were light enough to move quickly, strong to enough to withstand a beating, and the grip thats included simply is amazing. I have never dropped these, and have never broken a pair. Go buy them now.

          Amazing sticks

          Comments about Zildjian Trilok Gurtu Artist Series Signature Drumsticks:

          I bought these about a month ago, and use them every day. They are extremely durable, and I love the grips on them, very different and makes me want to play more, just because of these awesome sticks! They are definitley a "must have" in my opinion.

          i Love these sticks. they have to be my favorite. i like how thin they are and the grip and groove are nice adations. i am a hard hitter and they are still fine. the resone some of the others could have broken from incorectly hitting the cymbals. one other thing is the grip has started to peel a little but not mutch at all. over all a great buy!

          Comments about Zildjian Trilok Gurtu Artist Series Signature Drumsticks:

          I bought these sticks while looking for other drum things that I just couldn't live without. (You know how it is!) The bright yellow ends and the contrasting dark stained wood caught my eye. I liked the feel and the groove kept my hands in place. I am a light hitter and like the lighter sticks. (The normal 5A feels like a mallet to me.) I've only used the stick for a few days but have been very happy with the results. I read the reviews about these sticks breaking apart so I'll keep an eye on them but so far, they feel and perform great! And they don't leave any marks on my cymbals.
