I bought the silencing sticks in hopes of not being quite as obnoxiously loud. Within 30 seconds one of the tips flew off and I have yet to find it. The other firewood tip held on for 3 nanoseconds longer and then promptly jumped ship. Wasn’t worth returning as they were on $10 but I wouldn’t reccomend them to anyone.

Just about every release aspect of this product was truly dreadful. Firstly, within 3 minutes of getting them out of the box, the rubber tips had flown off, thus starting a 30 minute game of “Find the small objects in a 20 foot room”.
One glob of glue later inside the tips and they held for a small longer, although, within two hours of regular use, the rubber on one of them had split, rendering the pair useless.
Added to this is that the sticks themselves are ridiculously heavy, considering they are built to hit plastic drums, and for some bizarre reason, they are split into two parts with a screw thread in the middle. Something which led to them becoming loose during play.
Worth it only if you want to spend £10 on something to throw at your cat.

The rubber noise reducing cushions are nice, I use them on the wooden sticks. These cheap plastic sticks have a design flaw, the pressure can easily snap the stick right in the middle where the screw threads are. Why the screw threads are made of plastic is a mystery.
In small this product is certified Defective By Design. The most expensive rubber tips ever!

I only recently bought the Rockband 2 music system, and the stock wooden sticks that come with it feel terrible, they are supposedly Ludwig 5B’s but they don’t even feel like 5A’s. The wooden sticks don’t seem to respond properly with the Rockband 2 drum heads like they might with a real drum set. Therefore my buy of the MadCatz composite drum sticks.
Don’t be fooled, these are hefty weight, but the rubber/silicon tip covers provides a really nice bounce off of the drum heads, if you like lighter drum sticks you will likely despise this product, but if you like hefty 2B drumsticks you might like these for practicing, I know I do.
The conundrum with them is one thing, the rubber tip heads come flying off while you are playing, you don’t even need to see them glide off you will notice immediately that something is not right. The unadorned solution to that is to use instacure modeling glue, just a drop will do, this stuff drys in 1 to 3 seconds so don’t place it in the tip and squeeze the tip together else it’s done for. Instead simply place a drop or two into the rubber tip, and then quickly place the tip back on the drum stick and let it dry for an hour or so (yes it’s done in 1 to 3 seconds, but it might come flying off again if you don’t wait the hour). Now the tip will no longer come flying off.
The other trick that we use is where the sticks unscrew to break them down into two pieces is we place an Oring, large enough that it leaves a ridge around the stick on the “male” threaded part of the stick, then screw the sticks back together. You might marvel what this does, well for us it prevents stick slip, the oring helps to prevent the stick from sliding owing to our hand. Yean I know that’s one of the purposes of the rubberized mini grip that comes with the sticks where you screw them together, but that doesn’t do it for us, that to us is simply a way of knowing if the stick has slipped or not by whether or not we can feel that piece.
So, with the newly glued rubber tip caps, and an Oring, these are splendid sticks for people that don’t have to have wood, and who want hefty weighted drum sticks and in my opinion they work exact with the Rockband 2 game, but NOT to be used on a real drum set EVER!

My son despised these. They are heavy, and they broke before long after I bought them. (the tips broke off). Wouldn’t dissipate your cash.
