7A LONG NYLON TIPS

I am still getting used to them. The length and weight are much different from what I'm used to in a 7AN. But i am digging them. I have had them for three gigs, and I really like the length; it lets me lay back a bit and still make my reaches. Give 'em a try; you will like them.

So far so good. I have liked using Vic Firth Extreme 7A and the Questlove sticks because of the length. The Woodies are a little heavier and I wouldn't mind having a lighter option for jazz. I have another pair of Woodies without the nylon tips and I like those too.

I am always cautiously skeptical about claims of a more durable drumstick. I ordered 3 pairs of Woodies 7A Long Nylon Tips. I'm not exactly a basher-type player, but I play pretty loud, and with LOTS of rimshots. I have played 3 shows with my band SOLAR, and several rehearsals on the first pair, with no sign of any splintering yet!! I don't know what Woodies' secret sauce is, but they really do hold up! I would have splintered/shredded/snapped several pairs of my previous brand at this point. Woodies, keep doing what you're doing, and I will keep using your great sticks.
