I'm not a pro or even amateur drummer but these things feel great!
Very smooth and the wood doesn't get damaged easily.
I've been using it with my SPDSX just to make some basic drumming training for myself and composing, and they work so well.
The nylon tips also make sure that the drumpad doesn't get damaged, so if you are into drumpads, make sure this is your first choice, so that you don't damage your equipment!
