We switched ordinary drumsticks for these LED ones from Germany to see if the average musicians would notice. This is what they reported….First, they remarked on the color. “Very Amazing!” “And they have a good grip, and weight.” While they found them a little bottom-weighted, they still got them comfortable but because of the tips, they felt like there was a slight delay so they wouldn’t be good for “heavy hitting.” One drummer, Buster, felt the tips might fall off, and that affected his rhythm. For a real test, we switched them at a block party and the crowd loved the flashing lights, though the drummer had to remember not to toss them out to the crowd after the encore.Source
