I found that they don't give enough bounce back and they have less natural grip than a wood stick. I broke a stick every 6 months and I don't even do rim shots. Everyone's different but you'll definately need grip tape. Get tennis grip not
promark! It's exactly the same product but the wilson grip will do 12 sticks for less than half the price. I put a post in the forum about stick choice covering my choices since I began. Might be worth a look as I'm a hard rocker too.
