Where were the tips….

Just bought these sticks and slightly disappointed the rubber tips weren’t included. The product description isn’t clear as to what is included. The pictures of silicone tips inserted on the sticks & images of them packaged are somewhat misleading. Great sticks though.

よ**ん

2本のトーンバランスが取れている

どうせなら日本製がいいなとpearlやtamaの同等の物を何本か買ってみたものの、叩いた時の音のバランスが取れていなく、実際ドラムを叩けばそこまで気にはならないんですが、練習パッドを叩いた時2本のトーンが揃ってなく叩いてて気持ちが悪かったです。その点このvic firth5Aは完璧なトーンバランスで叩いてて気持ち良いです！USA!USA!おすすめです！
