John...sticks arrived this afternoon. They are outstanding! After using the first pair, it was obvious I needed a second pair. They're so smooth and responsive. I don't break sticks or drumheads, just really appreciate your commitment                  and craftsmanship. 

Best regards, David 

After 15 hours of play, verdict is in - I found my stick. 

The 5Z is the best stick I have ever used; stick is versatile, durable and balanced perfectly. Carry a pair wíth me. Thank you, great meeting you.
